Rob or Defend
22
Don’t rob the poor just because you can,
or exploit the needy in court.
23
For the Lord is their defender.
He will ruin anyone who ruins them.
The two verses in Proverbs combine into one clear message: Don’t take advantage of the weak and powerless. While the poor are mentioned specifically, this also includes widows, orphans, and immigrants.
Verse 23 warns that God will defend them, and you don’t want to face a just and righteous God in a courtroom!
Think about this: Do you know anyone who is really poor or powerless? For example, do you know any families that were driven from their homes by wildfires or floods and lost everything? Have you done anything to help them?
