Isaiah 29:21
Douay-Rheims
That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Judges and public officers, who were bound to support order and justice, lent their influence to vice. "To watch" expresses the care of a superior. Heb. 13 : 17. St. Jerome explains it of " demons, who, being themselves wicked, caused all men to sin in word, blaspheming in many points, and subverted, as far as in their power, and led away from justice him who at the gate and in judgment reproved vice."
