Proverbs 23:10–12

PROVERBS CHAPTER 23.

V. 10. Remove not the old landmark, the boundary which was placed when the land was first divided to the several families, and enter not into the fields of the fatherless, for the purpose of changing the boundary marks or committing other acts of violence; v. 11. for their Redeemer, their Avenger, the one who champions their cause, is mighty; for it is the Lord Himself who acts as their vindicator; He shall plead their cause with thee, appearing as the Advocate of the defenseless and, at the same time, as the Judge of the violators.

V. 12. Apply thine heart unto instruction, paying willing attention to correction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge, those which teach prudence and circumspection.
