Proverbs 22:21 in Context — Proverbs 22

19 para que tua confiança esteja no SENHOR, eu as ensino a ti hoje.

20 Por acaso não te escrevi excelentes coisas sobre o conselho e o conhecimento,

21 para te ensinar a certeza das palavras da verdade, para que possas responder palavras de verdade aos que te enviarem?

22 Não roubes ao pobre, porque ele é pobre; nem oprimas ao aflito junto à porta do julgamento.

23 Porque o SENHOR defenderá a causa deles em juízo, e quanto aos que os roubam, ele lhes roubará a alma.
