SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:10
no agraviéis a la viuda, ni al huérfano, ni al extranjero, ni al pobre; ni ninguno piense mal en su corazón contra su hermano.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 7:10
Verse 10. Evil against his brother in your heart.] Do not indulge an unfavourable opinion of another: do not envy him; do not harbour an unbrotherly feeling towards him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor , etc.] Such as have no husband to provide for them, nor father and mother to care for them, and are in a strange land, where they have no friends or acquaintance, and are poor, and can not help themselves. Laws of this kind were frequently inculcated among the Jews; (see Deuteronomy 24:14,17): and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart ; thoughts of evil are sinful, and forbidden by the law of God, as well as actions, which agrees with our Lord’s sense of the law, ( Matthew 5:22,28), (see Leviticus 19:17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-14 - God's judgements upon Israel of old for their sins, were written to warn Christians. The duties required are, not keeping fasts an offering sacrifices, but doing justly and loving mercy, which tend to the public welfare and peace. The law of God lays restraint upon the heart. But they filled their minds with prejudices against the word of God. Nothing is harder than the heart of a presumptuous sinner. See the fatal consequences of this to their fathers. Great sins against the Lord of hosts, bring great wrath from his power, which cannot be resisted. Sin, if regarded in the heart, will certainly spoil the success of prayer. The Lord always hears the cry of the broken-hearte penitent; yet all who die impenitent and unbelieving, will find n remedy or refuge from miseries which while here they despised an defied, but which they then will not be able to bear __________________________________________________________________
