Justice
3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
3:32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
16:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
17:5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
17:26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
18:17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18:18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
20:7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
20:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
20:23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
21:15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
22:22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
22:23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
23:10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
23:11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
24:26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
28:3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
28:8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
28:15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
28:16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
28:17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
28:21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
29:7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
29:24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
