Mishle 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.

Mishle 23:11 In-Context

9 Speak not in the oznayim of a kesil (fool), for he will despise the seichel of thy words.

10 Remove not the gevul olam (ancient landmark); and enter not into the sadot of the yetomim (fatherless ones, orphans),

11 For their Go’el is chazak (strong); He shall plead their cause against thee.

12 Apply thine lev unto musar, and thine oznayim to the words of da’as.

13 Withhold not musar (correction) from the na’ar (child), for if thou spank him with the shevet, he shall not die.
