Proverbs 22:23New Messianic Version BibleFor the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] will plead their cause, and spoil (plunder; prey; booty) the soul of those that spoiled them. See the chapter |
And when David [beloved] heard that Naval [fool] was dead, he said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that has pleaded the cause of my reproach (disgrace; shame) from the hand of Naval [fool], and has kept his servant from evil: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has returned the wickedness of Naval [fool] upon his own head. And David [beloved] sent and communed with Avigayil [my father is joy], to take her to him to wife.
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the employee (hired laborer) in [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].
Their Redeemer [is] strong; the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
Woe to youi that spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and youi [were] not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with youi! when youi shall cease to spoil (plunder; prey; booty), youi shall be spoiled; [and] when youi shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with youi.
