^22 (A)Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
And do not ^(B)crush the afflicted at the gate;
²³ For Yahweh will ^(C)plead their case
And rob the soul of those who rob them.

³ A ^(A)poor man who oppresses the lowly
Is a driving rain ^[a]which leaves no food.

^6 (A)Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than he who is crooked—^[a]double dealing—though he be rich.

⁷ The ^(A)righteous knows the cause of the poor,
The wicked does not understand that knowledge.

¹³ The ^(A)poor man and the oppressor meet together in this—
Yahweh gives ^(B)light to the eyes of both.

¹⁴ If a ^(A)king judges the poor with truth,
His ^(B)throne will be established forever.
