10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
10 Remove not the old landmark;
10 Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,
10 Don't stealthily move back the boundary lines or cheat orphans out of their property,
10 Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;
10 Don't cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers; don't take the land of defenseless orphans.
11 for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
11 for their Redeemer is strong; he will plead their cause against you.
11 For they have a powerful Advocate who will go to bat for them.
11 For their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you.
11 For their Redeemer is strong; he himself will bring their charges against you.
(Read Proverbs 23:10-11)
The fatherless are taken under God's special protection. He is their Redeemer, who will take their part; and he is mighty, almighty.
