Haydock's commentary
Covenant. We must be ashamed of transgressing these, (chap. xli. 24.) but not of complying with them. This is the first duty of man.
Ungodly. Blush not to oppose such a judgment, (Calmet) though all the judges should be against thee. Follow no collusion of man to do evil. (Haydock)
Pass sentence without respect of persons, (Deuteronomy i. 16.; Calmet) whether the parties be thy companions, or only travellers, ver. 3. (Haydock)
