Execute ye judgment. — As the Hebrew verb is not identical with that in Jeremiah 21:12, and implies a less formal act, it might be better to render it, do ye judgment...

Do no wrong... — The Hebrew order connects both verbs with the substantives — to the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, do no wrong, no violence — and gives the latter the emphasis of position. The whole verse paints but too vividly a reign which presented the very reverse of all that the prophet describes as belonging to a righteous king.
