American Standard Version
" Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: "
— Proverbs 22:22, American Standard Version
“Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
“Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court;”
“Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court,”
“Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:”
“Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:”
“Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have madethemknown to thee this day, even to thee.
Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them.
Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:
Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
