SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:23
porque el SEÑOR juzgará la causa de ellos, y despojará el alma de aquellos que los despojaren.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:23
Verse 23. For the Lord will plead their cause ] Wo therefore to them that oppress them, for they will have God, not the poor, to deal with.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. For the Lord will plead their cause , etc.] If counsellors at the bar will not, he will; if judges on the bench will not do them justice, he will; he will judge the poor of the people; he will plead their cause, and plead it thoroughly, till he has brought forth judgment unto victory: woe to the man against whom Jehovah pleads; happy the poor on whose side he is; for their Redeemer is mighty, the Lord of hosts is his name, ( Psalm 72:4 Jeremiah 50:34); and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them ; they could only spoil the poor of their goods, but the Lord can and will spoil and destroy the souls of the spoilers in hell: or, “spoil them that spoiled their soul” or “life” f613 ; that is, who spoiled them of their goods, and took away that small pittance they had, which was their life or livelihood; they shall be spoiled themselves that spoil others; the same measure they have meted out shall be measured out to them again; God will destroy them that destroy the earth, even antichrist and his followers, the oppressors of Christ’s poor on earth, ( Revelation 11:18).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22, 23 - He that robs and oppresses the poor, does so at his peril. And if me will not appear for them, God will.
