WEB

and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you do not judge for man, but for the Lord; and he is with you in the judgment.

KJV

And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

Commentary

And said to the judges, take heed what you do,.... In judgment, that they judged righteous judgment according to the law of God, without pa rtiality and respect of persons: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord; not for man only, but for the Lord; and not so much for man as for the Lord, whom they represented in judgment; whose law was the rule of their judgment, and whose glory their end, and to whom they were accountable: who is with you in the judgment: as to guide and direct you, so to observe how they behaved, and be a witness for or against them; the Targum is,"ye judge not before men, but before the Word of the Lord, whose Shechinah dwells with you in the affair of judgment.''
