Yahweh will plead their case
The metaphor is of a lawyer defending the needy in front of a judge. Alternate translation: "Yahweh will defend the needy from those who oppress them" or "Yahweh will see that the needy receive justice" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
he will rob of life those who robbed them
Yahweh is not a thief, but like a thief he will take life from those who do not choose to give it. Alternate translation: "he will destroy those who oppress poor people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
