When You Are Dealing with Injustice in the World

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”

“The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.”

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?”
