Job31:21

21. If I have lift up mine hand against the fatherless , when I saw my help in the gate :

To smite him with the Fist of wickedness, as the phrase is, Isa. 58. 4. to bring him to the Judgment-seat, that under colour of Justice I might take away his Right, as powerful Oppressors use to do, or any ways to threaten, injure, or crush him.

When I understood my advantage against him, and that I could influence the Judges to do what I pleased.
