Oppression
Thomas Brooks. Psalm 10:7-18 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.… turns princes into roaring lions, and judges into ravening wolves. It is an unnatural sin, against the light of nature. No creatures do oppress them of their own kind. Look upon the birds of prey as upon eagles, vultures, hawks, and you shall never find them preying upon their own kind. Look upon the beasts of the forest as upon the lion, the tiger, the wolf, the bear, and you shall ever find them favourable to their own kind; and yet men unnaturally prey upon one another, like the fish in the sea, the great swallowing up the small. (Thomas Brooks.) Parallel Verses KJV: His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. WEB: His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
