General references

“You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute.

If you make a sale, moreover, to your friend or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.

Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.

Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;

In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.

Justice is turned back,

And righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.

“You will sow but you will not reap.
You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;
And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.
