23 If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;
And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin in thee.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.
He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.
If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together; If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners:
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate; for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.
