“The field of the poor may yield much food, but it is swept away through injustice....Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich, will lead only to loss” (Proverbs 13:23; 22:16).
“Come now, you rich people.... Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter” (James 5:1-5).
