Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 50:20

20. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother , thou s[illegible: 1+ letters]anderest thine own mothers son.

Thou dost not onely speak evil in a sudden Passion, or upon some great Provocation, but this is thy Constant and deliberate Practise and Business, which thou dost pursue with great Facilty and Complacency: all which this Phrase implies.

Strictly so called, as the next Clause explains it. Which is a great Aggravation of the sin, and a Proof of his inveterate and obstinate Wickedness.

Takest away his good Name, which is better than all Riches; yea, than Life it self. Which is contrary to my express and oft repeated Commands.
