Source: TTT
Job 20:19, 29
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build. / This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”
Job 22:6, 10
For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing. / Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;
Isaiah 10:1–3
Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees, / to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder. / What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
Amos 5:11, 12
Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact from him a tax of grain, you will never live in the stone houses you have built; you will never drink the wine from the lush vineyards you have planted. / For I know that your transgressions are many and your sins are numerous. You oppress the righteous by taking bribes; you deprive the poor of justice in the gate.
