Verse 23 is found in chapter 22 of Proverbs. The opening portion of these words of the wise defends the poor against exploitation and forbids destructive association with people dominated by anger. It also warns against assuming imprudent financial obligations. The conclusion presents the diligent worker as someone who may stand before kings. Wisdom therefore affects social justice, personal relationships, finances, and vocation.

Denn der HERR wird ihre Sache führen und wird ihre Untertreter untertreten.
Porque Jehová juzgará la causa de ellos, Y despojará el alma de aquellos que los despojaren.
porque Jehová defenderá su causa y quitará la vida a quienes los despojan.
Car l'Eternel défendra leur cause, Et il ôtera la vie à ceux qui les auront dépouillés.
Perciocchè il Signore difenderà la causa loro, Ed involerà l’anima di coloro che li avranno involati
Porque o SENHOR defenderá a sua causa em juízo, e aos que os roubam ele lhes tirará a vida.
因耶和華必為他們辯護, 也必奪取那搶奪者的命。
