Proverbs 23:11 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:11

For their Redeemer [is] mighty
As he must needs be, since the Lord of hosts is his name; who sympathizes with them, has mercy on them, is their father, and their friend; see ( Jeremiah 50:34 ) ( Hosea 14:3 ) ( Psalms 68:5 ) ; he shall plead their cause with thee;
or "against thee", as the Vulgate Latin version; and will certainly carry it for them, and against thee; for, when he undertakes a cause, he pleads it thoroughly.

Proverbs 23:11 In-Context

9 Don't speak in the ears of a fool, for he will only despise the common sense in your words.
10 Don't move the ancient boundary stone or encroach on the land of the fatherless;
11 for their Redeemer is strong; he will take up their fight against you.
12 Apply your mind to discipline and your ears to words of knowledge.
13 Don't withhold discipline from a child -if you beat him with a stick, he won't die!
