“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”Īnd he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.” Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? In righteousness you shall be established you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come near you.īut you have dishonored the poor man. “Fear not, for I am with you be not dismayed, for I am your God I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”įor the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed for righteousness, but behold, an outcry! Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you despise this word and trust in oppression and perverseness and rely on them.” Surely oppression drives the wise into madness, and a bribe corrupts the heart. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest. Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring, that we may drink!” The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.īut if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor!
Learn to do good seek justice, correct oppression bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

The image below reveals the locations of each occurrence. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.The word “oppression” is found 34 times in the Old and New Testament. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks.
