6 Bible Verses about Poor, Oppression Of

The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.

So as to deprive the needy of justice
And rob the poor of My people of their rights,
So that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the orphans.

The poor is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.

“They push the needy aside from the road;
The poor of the land are made to hide themselves altogether.

Hear this, you who trample the needy, to do away with the humble of the land,

Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor
And exact a tribute of grain from them,
Though you have built houses of well-hewn stone,
Yet you will not live in them;
You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.
