Bible Verses About The Poor: Acting unjustly towards

"For he crushed and abandoned the poor, seizing houses he did not build,

This is God's reward for the wicked, the heritage God decrees for him."

"For you kept your kinsmen's goods as collateral for no reason, you stripped the poorly clothed of what clothing they have,

"No wonder there are snares all around you, and sudden terror overwhelms you,

Woe to those who enact unjust decrees and draft oppressive legislation

to deprive the impoverished of justice and rob my people's poor of their rights, looting widows and preying on orphans!

What will you do on the day of punishment, when calamity comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth,

Therefore, because you trample on the poor and extort from them levies of grain; although you have built houses of cut stone, you will not live in them; and though you have planted pleasant vineyards, you will not drink their wine.

For I know how numerous are your crimes and how outrageous your sins - bullying the innocent, extorting ransoms pushing the poor aside at the gate.
