Proverbs 22:23
World English Bible (WEB)
for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
In context
21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
22 Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
23 for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
