Proverbs 23:11

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

for their Redeemer is strong; he will plead their cause against you.

See the chapter Copy

for the Lord will plead their cause and despoil of life those who despoil them.

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand upon the earth;

Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountain dry;

“Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

“ ‘Cursed be he who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Apply your mind to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.

God gives the desolate a home to dwell in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
