PROVERBS 22:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.”
For the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them—an assurance that God actively advocates for the oppressed, that he will prosecute the cause of those who have been wronged. The verb 'take up their case' (riva) describes legal advocacy; God becomes the poor person's attorney. The consequence 'plunder those who plunder them' suggests retributive justice. The theological significance involves the comfort that God sees injustice and will ultimately judge it.
