then hear in heaven, and act,
and judge your servants,
condemning the wicked person by bringing his way on his own head
and declaring the righteous person
to be righteous
by giving to him according to his righteousness.
“condemning the wicked person by bringing his way on his own head.” It is a consistent theme through Scripture that evil people bring evil upon themselves (see commentary on Prov. 1:18). The Hebrew word translated “way” is literally “road,” which is used here as an idiom for a person's way of life.
