Proverbs 22:20-22
Wycliffe Bible
20 Lo! I have described it in three manners[a]1, in thoughts and knowing,
21 (so) that I should show to thee the firmness and speeches of truth; to answer (out) of these things to them that sent (unto) thee.
22 Do thou not violence to a poor man, for he is poor; neither defoul thou a needy man in the gate. (Do not thou do violence to a poor person, because he is poor; and do not take advantage of a needy person in court/at the city gates.)
