GEN1029 To do justice, as [this verse] shows, means, in Hebrew, as in English, to do what is right: uphold the innocent and condemn the guilty – in a practical way, to recognize their deserts.  Shiftu here connotes recognition of rights, just as the English “condemn” entails not merely judgment but a finding of guilt.   JHRHV 167 n. 25
