Proverbs 22:21-23
Lexham English Bible

21 In order to show you what is right—sayings of truth—
    in order to return a true saying to him who sent you.
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
    and do not crush the afflicted at the gate;
23 For Yahweh will plead their case
    and despoil those who despoil them of life.[a]
