Haydock's commentary
Despising: interpretatively; not formally, as Numbers xv. (Estius)
The Lord, who knows the truth, and is an avenger of all injustice, even the most secret. (Haydock)
The law inflicts indeed a smaller punishment, as these offences are supposed to be secret, and the offender is thus invited to repent, and to repair the injury done. When the crime is public, the law is more severe. (Calmet)
Hebrew, "If a soul transgress and sin against the Lord." Septuagint, "If any one wilfully despise the commands," &c. (Haydock)
Trust. Hebrew and Septuagint, "or a sum given for traffic for their common benefit."
Oppression, by any means whatsoever detaining the wages of the labourer, &c.
