Thematic Bible: Duty toward the Afflicted


Thematic Bible





Instead, I would encourage you with my mouth,
and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.

I directed their course and presided as chief.
I lived as a king among his troops,
like one who comforts those who mourn.

Otherwise, they will drink,
forget what is decreed,
and pervert justice for all the oppressed.

A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends,
even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.
