Proverbs 13:23 – Injustice toward the Poor

BIBLE TEXT

Proverbs 13:23

SUMMARY

Injustice keeps the poor from the rich harvests of their own fields.

ANALYSIS

Proverbs 13:23 once again makes a profound observation of the effect of injustice on the poor. Even though their fields might be bountiful, the poor will not reap the benefits. (See “The Social Ethic of Proverbs: Wealth and Poverty” entry in Bible in the World – Proverbs.)
