'Afflicted' in the Bible

Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners,Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance].

All the days of the afflicted are bad,But a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of the circumstances].

Do not rob the poor because he is poor [and defenseless],Nor crush the afflicted [by legal proceedings] at the gate [where the city court is held],

For the Lord will plead their caseAnd take the life of those who rob them.

Otherwise they drink and forget the law and its decrees,And pervert the rights and justice of all the afflicted.
