8. I--in contrast to the false prophets
(Mic 3:5, 7).
full of power--that which "the Spirit of Jehovah" imparts for the
discharge of the prophetical function
(Lu 1:17; 24:49;
Ac 1:8).
judgment--a sense of justice
[MAURER]; as opposed to the false
prophets' speaking to please men, not from a regard to truth. Or,
"judgment" to discern between graver and lighter offenses, and to
denounce punishments accordingly [GROTIUS].
might--moral intrepidity in speaking the truth at all costs
(2Ti 1:7).
to declare unto Jacob his . . . sin--
(Isa 58:1).
Not to flatter the sinner as the false prophets do with promises of
peace.
