They cry at all

Beware that there is no base thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,’ and your eye is hostile toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he may cry to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you.

You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the Lord and it become sin in you.

“If my land cries out against me,
And its furrows weep together;

“Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.

now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?

I will surely

So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted—

O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice out of His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He will also hear their cry and will save them.

Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord

sets the prisoners free.

Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

Or crush the afflicted at the gate;

Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,

Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
