Justice: God's Character, God's priority, God's Calling
Do not pervert justice or show partiality...Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God has given you. (Deut. 16:18-20)
You oppress the righteous and take bribes, and you deprive the poor of justice in the courts...I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies...Away with the noise of your songs...But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream. (Amos 5:12-24)
No one calls for justice; Justice is driven back...The Lord looked and He was displeased that there was no justice...He was appalled that there was no one to intervene...(Isa. 59:1-16)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of the destitute. (Proverbs 31:8)
Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. (Leviticus 19:15)
What does the Lord require of you,
but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly
before your God. (Micah 6:8)
