His children shall seek to please the poor. Another rendering is, "The poor shall oppress his children," since the meaning of the verb?斂淚囹?玲?玲 is doubtful. But the translation of the Authorized Version seems preferable.
His children will curry favour with the poor, either by making restitution to them on account of their father's injuries, or simply because they are friendless, and desire to ingratiate themselves with some one.
And his hands shall restore their goods (comp. Job 20:15 and Job 20:18). He himself will be so crushed and broken in spirit that he will give back with his own hands the goods whereof he has deprived the poor.
The restitution, i.e; will be made, in many cases, not by the oppressor's children, but by the oppressor himself.
