Proverbs 22:22

22:22

Rob
<01497> (8799)

not the poor
<01800>_,

because he [is] poor
<01800>_:

neither oppress
<01792> (8762)

the afflicted
<06041>

in the gate
<08179>_:

Proverbs 31:8-9

31:8

Open
<06605> (8798)

thy mouth
<06310>

for the dumb
<0483>

in the cause
<01779>

of all such as are appointed
<01121>

to destruction
<02475>_.

{such...: Heb. the sons of destruction}

31:9

Open
<06605> (8798)

thy mouth
<06310>_,

judge
<08199> (8798)

righteously
<06664>_,

and plead
<01777> (8798)

the cause of the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_.

Job 29:7-25

29:7

When I went out
<03318> (8800)

to the gate
<08179>

through the city
<07176>_,

[when] I prepared
<03559> (8686)

my seat
<04186>

in the street
<07339>_!

29:8

The young men
<05288>

saw
<07200> (8804)

me, and hid
<02244> (8738)

themselves: and the aged
<03453>

arose
<06965> (8804)_,

[and] stood up
<05975> (8804)_.

29:9

The princes
<08269>

refrained
<06113> (8804)

talking
<04405>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[their] hand
<03709>

on their mouth
<06310>_.

29:10

The nobles
<05057>

held
<02244> (8738)

their peace
<06963>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

cleaved
<01692> (8804)

to the roof of their mouth
<02441>_.

{The nobles...: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}

29:11

When the ear
<0241>

heard
<08085> (8804)

[me], then it blessed
<0833> (8762)

me; and when the eye
<05869>

saw
<07200> (8804)

[me], it gave witness
<05749> (8686)

to me:

29:12

Because I delivered
<04422> (8762)

the poor
<06041>

that cried
<07768> (8764)_,

and the fatherless
<03490>_,

and [him that had] none to help
<05826> (8802)

him.

29:13

The blessing
<01293>

of him that was ready to perish
<06> (8802)

came
<0935> (8799)

upon me: and I caused the widow's
<0490>

heart
<03820>

to sing for joy
<07442> (8686)_.

29:14

I put
<03847> (8804)

on righteousness
<06664>_,

and it clothed
<03847> (8799)

me: my judgment
<04941>

[was] as a robe
<04598>

and a diadem
<06797>_.

29:15

I was eyes
<05869>

to the blind
<05787>_,

and feet
<07272>

[was] I to the lame
<06455>_.

29:16

I [was] a father
<01>

to the poor
<034>_:

and the cause
<07379>

[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)

not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.

29:17

And I brake
<07665> (8762)

the jaws
<04973>

of the wicked
<05767>_,

and plucked
<07993> (8686)

the spoil
<02964>

out of his teeth
<08127>_.

{the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}

29:18

Then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I shall die
<01478> (8799)

in my nest
<07064>_,

and I shall multiply
<07235> (8686)

[my] days
<03117>

as the sand
<02344>_.

29:19

My root
<08328>

[was] spread out
<06605> (8803)

by the waters
<04325>_,

and the dew
<02919>

lay all night
<03885> (8799)

upon my branch
<07105>_.

{spread...: Heb. opened}

29:20

My glory
<03519>

[was] fresh
<02319>

in me
<05978>_,

and my bow
<07198>

was renewed
<02498> (8686)

in my hand
<03027>_.

{fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}

29:21

Unto me [men] gave ear
<08085> (8804)_,

and waited
<03176> (8765)_,

and kept silence
<01826> (8799)

at
<03926>

my counsel
<06098>_.

29:22

After
<0310>

my words
<01697>

they spake not again
<08138> (8799)_;

and my speech
<04405>

dropped
<05197> (8799)

upon them.

29:23

And they waited
<03176> (8765)

for me as for the rain
<04306>_;

and they opened
<06473> (8804)

their mouth
<06310>

wide [as] for the latter rain
<04456>_.

29:24

[If] I laughed
<07832> (8799)

on them, they believed
<0539> (8686)

[it] not; and the light
<0216>

of my countenance
<06440>

they cast not down
<05307> (8686)_.

29:25

I chose
<0977> (8799)

out their way
<01870>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

chief
<07218>_,

and dwelt
<07931> (8799)

as a king
<04428>

in the army
<01416>_,

as one [that] comforteth
<05162> (8762)

the mourners
<057>_.

Job 31:21

31:21

If I have lifted up
<05130> (8689)

my hand
<03027>

against the fatherless
<03490>_,

when I saw
<07200> (8799)

my help
<05833>

in the gate
<08179>_:

Isaiah 29:21

29:21

That make a man
<0120>

an offender
<02398> (8688)

for a word
<01697>_,

and lay a snare
<06983> (8799)

for him that reproveth
<03198> (8688)

in the gate
<08179>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the just
<06662>

for a thing of nought
<08414>_.

Amos 5:10

5:10

They hate
<08130> (8804)

him that rebuketh
<03198> (8688)

in the gate
<08179>_,

and they abhor
<08581> (8762)

him that speaketh
<01696> (8802)

uprightly
<08549>_.

Amos 5:12

5:12

For I know
<03045> (8804)

your manifold
<07227>

transgressions
<06588>

and your mighty
<06099>

sins
<02403>_:

they afflict
<06887> (8802)

the just
<06662>_,

they take
<03947> (8802)

a bribe
<03724>_,

and they turn aside
<05186> (8689)

the poor
<034>

in the gate
<08179>

[from their right]. {a bribe: or, a ransom}

Amos 5:15

5:15

Hate
<08130> (8798)

the evil
<07451>_,

and love
<0157> (8798)

the good
<02896>_,

and establish
<03322> (8685)

judgment
<04941>

in the gate
<08179>_:

it may be that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

will be gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto the remnant
<07611>

of Joseph
<03130>_.
