Commentary on Isaiah 5:23

Theological / Devotional

Justify the wicked. That is, “acquit the guilty.” Right means nothing to this class. They are willing to exonerate the most wicked of men for the sake of material gain. For a bribe they will pronounce a righteous man guilty and declare the wicked innocent. They are without moral scruples. Their mode of living is expensive, and they will stop at nothing to secure the needed means. A country has reached a sorry state when men of this type sit in the judgment seat.
