A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.

“Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain.

Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and I have nursing sheep and cattle. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole herd will die.

Then Judah said to his brothers, “What do we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?

Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and she asked Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. God has repaid me for what I have done.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I’ll make one with you on this condition: that I gouge out everyone’s right eye and humiliate all Israel.”

“Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’?

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who hasn’t shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his need—how can God’s love reside in him?
