'Oppression' in the Bible
His mouth is full of curses and deceit (fraud) and oppression;Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness [injustice and sin].
I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
For You are the God of my strength [my stronghold—in whom I take refuge]; why have You rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Why do You hide Your faceAnd forget our affliction and our oppression?
Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the pressure of the wicked;For they bring down trouble on me,And in anger they persecute me.
Do not trust in oppression,And do not vainly hope in robbery;If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence,And their blood will be precious in His sight.
They mock and wickedly speak of oppression;They speak loftily [with malice].
When they are diminished and bowed down (humbled)Through oppression, misery, and sorrow,
Redeem me from the oppression of man;That I may keep Your precepts.
