This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_22:23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
Ver. 23. For the Lord will plead their cause.] Without fee, for those that come to him forma pauperis, and without fear of their oppressors, against whom he will plead with pestilence and with blood, {Eze_38:22} as he did against the house of Saul for the poor Gibeonites, and against Ahab for Naboth.
And spoil the soul (or life) of those that spoiled them.] A poor man’s livelihood is his life. {Mar_12:42-44 Luk_8:43} He is in his house as a snail in his shell; crush that, and you kill him quite. God therefore, who loves par pari referre, to pay oppressors home in their own coin, will have life for life, if they may escape so, and not be cast to hell among those cruel ones. {Pro_5:9} {See Trapp on "Pro_5:9"} Oh that these cannibals would think of this, before the cold grave hold their bodies, and hot hell hold their souls.
