Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:16

Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:13-16

(Read Deuteronomy 25:13-16)

Dishonest gain always brings a curse on men's property, families, and souls. Happy those who judge themselves, repent of and forsake their sins, and put away evil things, that they may not be condemned of the Lord.
