Proverbs 13:23

Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,

But it is swept away by injustice.

Proverbs 14:31

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,

But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

All the days of the afflicted are evil,

But a good heart has a continual feast.

Better is a little with righteousness

Than great produce with injustice.

He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself

Or who gives to the rich will only come to lack.

Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

And do not crush the afflicted at the gate;

For Yahweh will plead their case

And rob the soul of those who rob them.

The righteous knows the cause of the poor,

The wicked does not understand that knowledge.

A poor man who oppresses the lowly

Is a driving rain which leaves no food.

The poor man and the oppressor meet together in this—

Yahweh gives light to the eyes of both.
