Proverbs 23:10-11·~1 min
Saying 11
The hearer must not move old boundaries or seize the fields of the fatherless, because their Redeemer is strong and will contend for them. Wisdom here respects inherited limits because God defends those with least worldly leverage.
D10o not move an ancient boundary stone 11for their Redeemer is strong;
Section summaryThe eleventh saying repeats the boundary-stone warning but now anchors it explicitly in the strong Redeemer of the fatherless. Wisdom protects the vulnerable not only by human fairness but by recognizing that God himself will litigate for them.
Role in the chapterThis section functions as a warning against land-grabbing and oppression. Its work is to bind justice for the powerless to the active advocacy of their Redeemer.
