So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter.

If you should see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter; for [there is] a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them.

And it was written in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.

And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.

And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have 6blasphemed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard [it], that she said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who would not sell it to you; for Naboth is not alive, for he is dead.

And the Lord spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord: Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.

behold, I bring evil upon you; and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Ahab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.

For the end. Destroy not; by David, for a memorial. If you do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do you judge rightly, you sons of men?

For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth; your hands plot unrighteousness.

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.

And we have turned back judgment, and righteousness has departed afar off; for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path].

And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.

They prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks a [reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul;

Her princes within her were as roaring lions, her judges as the wolves of Arabia; they remained not till the morning.

Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the Sanhedrin were seeking false witnesses against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death,

Then Paul said to him, "God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit judging me according to the law, and contrary to the law do you command that I should be struck?"

But you have dishonored the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into court?
