Proverbs 22:21-23
American Standard Version

21 To make thee know [a]the certainty of the words of truth,
That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
22 Rob not the poor, [b]because he is poor;
Neither [c]oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 For Jehovah will plead their cause,
And despoil of life those that despoil them.
