Proverbs 22:21-23

Revised Standard Version

²¹to show you what is right and true,
that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?

²²Do not rob the poor, because he is poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate;
²³for the Lord will plead their cause
and despoil of life those who despoil them.
