2. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness. Those
very men who sat as judges, and pretended to so much indignation at the faults
imputed to their victim, were in their hearts perpetrating all manner of evil. Ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. They were deliberate
sinners, cold, calculating villains. Note in this verse that the men described
sinned with heart and hand; privately in their heart, publicly in the earth;
they worked and they weighed—they were active, and yet deliberate. Such were
the foes of our Lord, an evil and adulterous generation; they sought to kill
him because he was righteousness itself, yet they masked their hatred to his
goodness by charging him with sin.
