King James Version with Apocrypha
"Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:"
— Proverbs 22:22, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
“ 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:”
That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
