Clarke's Commentary on the BibleBut as for the mighty man, he had the earth - איש זרוע ish zeroa, the man of arm. Finger, hand, and arm, are all emblems of strength and power. The man of arm is not only the strong man, but the man of power and influence, the man of rapine and plunder. The honorable man - Literally, the man whose face is accepted, the respectable man, the man of wealth. Thou wert an enemy to the poor and needy, but thou didst favor and flatter the rich and great.

Job 31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door? 1 Kings 21:11-15 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them... Psalm 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. Micah 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man... mighty man. Heb. man of arm. honourable.
