Do You Rob the Poor?

God will certainly rob you of life. Thus the message of Prov 22.22,23. This is known as "talionic justice" or "poetic justice." Do not think that if you oppress the poor because you can get away with it, that you will get away with it. You will not. God will see that you do not. As Derek Kidner writes in the Tyndale commentary: To be ruthlessly on the make is to make, above all, an Enemy.
