Zechariah 7:10 - Exposition

Oppress not the widow, etc. ( Exodus 22:21 , Exodus 22:22 ; Deuteronomy 10:18 , Deuteronomy 10:19 ); Vulgate, nolite calumniari, where calumniari is used in the sense "to vex, torment." Imagine evil against his brother in year heart. God's Law forbids even a thought of revenge or injury against a neighbour, for this is only the first step to wrong doing (comp. Micah 2:1 ). Septuagint, κακίαν ἕκαστος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ μὴ μνησικακείτω ἐν ταῖς καρδίας ὑμῶν , "Let none of you remember in your hearts the malice of your brother."
