Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;

In context
19 That thy confidence may be in the Lord, I haue shewed thee this day: thou therefore take heede.
20 Haue not I written vnto thee three times in counsels and knowledge,
21 That I might shewe thee the assurance of the wordes of trueth to answere the wordes of trueth to them that sende to thee?
22 Robbe not the poore, because hee is poore, neither oppresse the afflicted in iudgement.
23 For the Lord will defende their cause, and spoyle the soule of those that spoyle them.
24 Make no friendship with an angrie man, neither goe with the furious man,
25 Least thou learne his wayes, and receiue destruction to thy soule.
