Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor, and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,for the Lord will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.

“ Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the Lord.“ I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.”

For judgment is without mercy to the one who hasn’t shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Come now, you rich people! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you.Your wealth is ruined and your clothes are moth-eaten.Your silver and gold are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You stored up treasure in the last days!Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who reaped your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.

A greedy man is in a hurry for wealth; he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him.

“ The Lord of Hosts says this: Make fair decisions. Show faithful love and compassion to one another.Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor, and do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear.They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the Lord of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the Lord of Hosts.Just as He had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen,” says the Lord of Hosts.“ I scattered them with a windstorm over all the nations that had not known them, and the land was left desolate behind them, with no one coming or going. They turned a pleasant land into a desolation.”

If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full.But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.

They covet fields and seize them; they also take houses. They deprive a man of his home, a person of his inheritance.Therefore, the Lord says: I am now planning a disaster against this nation; you cannot free your necks from it. Then you will not walk so proudly because it will be an evil time.

For he oppressed and abandoned the poor; he seized a house he did not build.Because his appetite is never satisfied, he does not let anything he desires escape.Nothing is left for him to consume; therefore, his prosperity will not last.At the height of his success distress will come to him; the full weight of misery will crush him.When he fills his stomach, God will send His burning anger against him, raining it down on him while he is eating.If he flees from an iron weapon, an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.He pulls it out of his back, the flashing tip out of his liver. Terrors come over him.Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned by human hands will consume him; it will feed on what is left in his tent.The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.The possessions in his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s anger.This is the wicked man’s lot from God, the inheritance God ordained for him.

A destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no food.

‘ Father Abraham!’ he called out,‘ Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame!’

The one who oppresses the poor person insults his Maker, but one who is kind to the needy honors Him.

He also said to the one who had invited Him,“ When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite your friends, your brothers, your relatives, or your rich neighbors, because they might invite you back, and you would be repaid.On the contrary, when you host a banquet, invite those who are poor, maimed, lame, or blind.And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
