Bible Verses About Oppression: God's aid promised against

"Because the poor are oppressed, because the needy are groaning, I will now rise up," says ADONAI, "and grant security to those whom they scorn."

May he defend the oppressed among the people, save the needy and crush the oppressor.

He will redeem them from oppression and violence; their blood will be precious in his view.

But their redeemer is strong; ADONAI-Tzva'ot is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, so that he can give rest to the land but unrest to those who live in Bavel.
