Proverbs 23:11

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

God All-Powerful is there to defend them against you.

See the chapter Copy

The LORD is their defender, and what you do to them, he will do to you.

I know that my Saviour lives, and at the end he will stand on this earth.

My people, I am on your side, and I will take revenge on Babylon. I will cut off its water supply, and its stream will dry up.

But you, LORD, tell them, “I will do something! The poor are ill-treated and helpless people moan. I'll rescue all who suffer.”

Listen to instruction and do your best to learn.

You find families for those who are lonely. You set prisoners free and let them prosper, but all who rebel will live in a scorching desert.
