- "Robª° not¹ the poor,ª because¹ he¹ [is] poor:ª neither¹ oppressª° the afflictedª in the gate:ª ... For¹ the LORDª will pleadª° their cause,ª and spoilª° the soulª of¹ those that spoiledª° them." {Prv 22:22-23} + "He that oppressethª° the poorª reproachethª° his Maker:ª° but he that honourethª° him hath mercyª° on the poor.ª" {Prv 14:31} + "A poorª° manª that oppressethª° the poorª [is like] a sweepingª° rainª which leaveth no¹ food.ª" {Prv 28:3} + "Because¹ he hath oppressedª° [and] hath forsakenª° the poor;ª [because] he hath violently taken awayª° an houseª which he buildedª° not;¹ ... This¹ [is] the portionª of a wickedª manª from God,ª¹ and the heritageª appointedª unto him by God.ª¹" {Job 20:19-29} + "For the oppressionª¹ of the poor,ª for the sighingª¹ of the needy,ª now¹ will I arise,ª° saithª° the LORD;ª I will setª° [him] in safetyª [from him that] puffethª° at him." {Psa 12:5} + "And they covetª° fields,ª and take [them] by violence;ª° and houses,ª and take [them] away:ª° so they oppressª° a manª and his house,ª even a manª and his heritage.ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ against¹ this¹ familyª do I deviseª° an evil,ª from¹¹ which¹ ye shall not¹ removeª° your necks;ª neither¹ shall ye go²°¹ haughtily:ª for¹ this¹ timeª [is] evil.ª" {Mic 2:2-3} + "Thus¹ speakethª° the LORDª of hosts,ª saying,ª° Executeª° trueª judgment,ª and shewª° mercyª and compassionsª every manª to¹ his brother:ª ...
