Job 31:13-15

13 If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant,
when they brought a complaint against me,
14what then shall I do when God rises up?
When he amakes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15Did bnot he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?

Isaiah 47:6

6 cI was angry with my people;
I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
dyou showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.

Isaiah 58:3-6

3 eWhy have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,
Or pursue your own business

gand oppress all your workers.
4Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
5 hIs such the fast that I choose,
ia day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
jto loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps kof the yoke,
to let the oppressed
Or bruised
go free,
and to break every yoke?

Amos 8:4-7

4 Hear this, myou who trample on the needy
and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5saying, “When will nthe new moon be over,
that we may sell grain?
And othe Sabbath,
that we may offer wheat for sale,
that we may make pthe ephah small and the shekel
An  ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters; a  shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
great
and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6that we may buy the poor for rsilver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and sell the chaff of the wheat?”
7 The Lord has sworn by sthe pride of Jacob:
“Surely tI will never forget any of their deeds.

Malachi 3:5

I will be ua swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those vwho oppress the hired worker in his wages, wthe widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
