Verse 1 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. At an abundant table, the wise person should control his appetite and discern the intentions of the ruler. The passage also warns against becoming obsessed with accumulating wealth and against accepting food from a stingy person. The defense of personal boundaries appears alongside the defense of the poor and fatherless. The final foundation is that their Redeemer is strong and will defend their cause.
