The poor » Punishment for » Oppressing
The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy; they have oppressed the foreigner who lives among them and denied them justice.
The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain and the one who gives to the rich -- both end up only in poverty.
So I have poured my anger on them, and destroyed them with the fire of my fury. I hereby repay them for what they have done, declares the sovereign Lord."
