I was a father to the needy, and I examined the case of the stranger.

Happy is one who cares for the poor; the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.

Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed.Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will himself also call out and not be answered.

The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and unlawfully exploited the foreign resident.I searched for a man among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land so that I might not destroy it, but I found no one.So I have poured out My indignation on them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their actions down on their own heads.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Are you a king because you excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink and administer justice and righteousness? Then it went well with him.He took up the case of the poor and needy, then it went well. Is this not what it means to know Me? This is the Lord’s declaration.But you have eyes and a heart for nothing except your own dishonest profit, shedding innocent blood and committing extortion and oppression.

David’s young men went and said all these things to Nabal on David’s behalf, and they waited.Nabal asked them,“ Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters.Am I supposed to take my bread, my water, and my meat that I butchered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don’t know where they are from.”

if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,

Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you also won’t be tempted.

If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants when they made a complaint against me,

I will rejoice and be glad in Your faithful love because You have seen my affliction. You have known the troubles of my life

Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the foreign resident is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.

Then I said,“ Now listen, leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Aren’t you supposed to know what is just?You hate good and love evil. You tear off people’s skin and strip their flesh from their bones.You eat the flesh of my people after you strip their skin from them and break their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”Then they will cry out to the Lord, but He will not answer them. He will hide His face from them at that time because of the crimes they have committed.

They have become fat and sleek. They have also excelled in evil matters. They have not taken up cases, such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper, and they have not defended the rights of the needy.
