KIV: Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted! For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them! "One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the (CEO's) rich- both come to poverty! (100%!)" "You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to (God) Me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will ki-ll you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless! (100%!)" Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor!" KIV: Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. KIV: He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth (God) Him hath mercy on the poor. "If you close your ear to the cry of the poor, you will cry out and not be heard! (100%!)"
