He that dishonors the needy, sins, but he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.

He that oppresses the needy provokes his Maker, but he that honors Him has pity upon the poor.

For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You have fallen upon me.

But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother having need, and shuts off his compassion towards him, how does the love of God abide in him?

If your enemy should fall, rejoice not over him, neither be elated at his overthrow.

For the Lord will see it, and it will not please Him, and He will turn away His wrath from him.

And if I too was glad at the fall of my enemies, and my heart said, Aha!

But I have not been weary of following You, nor have I desired the day of man. You know the [words] that proceed out of my lips; [they] are before Your face.

From the day that you stood in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, you also were as one of them.

Neither should you have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet should you have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor should you have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.

Rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep.

Everyone that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless.
