Robbing the poor

Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate : (Proverbs 22:22)

The poor people should be given their due shares of their labor. They should not be robbed of what is due to them. The afflicted should not be oppressed in the gate by dening them justice. The afflicted people do not get justice when the wicked people exploit them and pervert justice in the gate. The gate means the place where justice is delivered by authorities concerned. The system of justice is bent by the rich and the mighty to their favour.

For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. (Proverbs 22:23)

Since the afflicted do not get justice, the Lord pleads their cause and punishes those who spoil the afflicted. The Lord is the Judge for the afflicted.
