23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
23 for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life.
23 for the Lord will plead their cause and rob of life those who rob them.
23 Because God will come to their defense; the life you took, he'll take from you and give back to them.
23 For the Lord will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
23 For the Lord is their defender. He will ruin anyone who ruins them.

He that robs and oppresses the poor, does so at his peril. And if men will not appear for them, God will.
