Justice in All Dealings
Commentators explain that this verse prohibits two distinct forms of injustice: overt robbery by force and more subtle oppression or fraud. Albert Barnes contrasts this verse, which deals with violence and power, with the previous verse's focus on deceit. This calls believers to be scrupulously honest and fair in all their economic dealings, both public and private.
