  • Mic 2:1-3 : 1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it because it is in the power of their hand. 2 They covet fields and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away; so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, against this family I devise an evil from which you shall not remove your necks; neither shall you go haughtily, for this time is evil.

  • Isa 14:4-9 : 4 That you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. 6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders. 7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 8 Yes, the pine trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no woodcutter comes up against us. 9 Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they will speak and say to you, Have you also become weak as we? Have you become like us? 11 Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you. 12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, who did weaken the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. 15 Yet you will be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see you will look narrowly upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; who did not open the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house. 19 But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; like a carcass trodden under foot. 20 You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, and slain your people: the seed of evildoers will never be renowned. 21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22 For I will rise up against them, says the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, says the LORD. 23 I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the LORD of hosts. 24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it will come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it will stand: 25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him underfoot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back? 28 In the year that King Ahaz died was this burden. 29 Rejoice not, whole Philistia, because the rod of him that struck you is broken: for out of the serpent's root will come forth a viper, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent. 30 And the firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety: and I will kill your root with famine, and he will slay your remnant. 31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; you, whole Philistia, are dissolved: for there will come from the north a smoke, and none will be alone in his appointed times. 32 What will one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of his people will trust in it.
  • Isa 58:6-7 : 6 Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
  • Jer 7:6-9 : 6 If you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your harm; 7 Then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever. 8 Behold, you trust in deceptive words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD. 12 But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not listen; and I called you, but you did not answer; 14 Therefore I will do unto this house, which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

  • Job 27:13-23 : 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive from the Almighty. 14 If his children multiply, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep. 16 Though he heaps up silver as the dust, and prepares clothing as the clay; 17 He may prepare it, but the just shall wear it, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 18 He builds his house like a moth, and like a booth that a keeper makes. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered; he opens his eyes, and he is no more. 20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest steals him away in the night. 21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs; and as a storm hurls him out of his place. 22 For God will hurl upon him, and not spare; he would gladly flee out of His hand. 23 Men shall clap their hands at him and shall hiss him out of his place.
