Isaiah32:6
6. For the vile person will speak villany , and his heart will work iniquity , to practise hypocrisy , and to utter errour against the LORD , to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail .
So this is a reason of the Assertion, ver. 5. either thus, Such shal not be Advanced to Places of Trust and Dignity; for if they were, they would abuse them by unjust Sentences and Practises: Or thus, Men shall no longer be miscalled; for every one will discover what he is by his Words and Actions; which also shall be narrowly observed. But these and the following Words are, and may be otherwise rendred: But (as this Particle oft signifies) he shall be called or said to be (which words are easily understood out of the former Verse, as is very frequent in Scripture) a fool, who (which relative Particle is understood in very many places) shall speak villany, and whose heart shall work iniquity, &c.
He will, from time to time, be devising Wickedness, that he may Execute it when he hath opportunity.
To do bad things, [illegible: 1+ letters]t with a pretence of Religion and Justice, which he shall use to keep himself from the dis-favour of his Prince, and from the lash of the Law. Or, to practise prophaneness or wickedness, as this Word, at least sometimes, seems to signify.
To pass un [illegible: 1+ letters]ust Sentences, which is directly contrary to the Will and Command of God.
Whereby they take away the Bread and Drink of the Poor, and give it to their rich Oppressors.
