Bible verse
Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
Proverbs 23:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 23.
6 Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their Redeemer is strong; He will take up their case against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
14 Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol.
