“You
shall not murder." "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." "Cursed
is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.
And all the people shall say, Amen.” "Rescue
those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the
heart perceive it? Does not he who who guards your life know it? Will
he not repay each person according to what he has done?" "How long will you defend
the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Defend the cause of the
weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue
the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken." "This is what the LORD
says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of his oppressor
the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence
to the alien, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood
in this place. For if you are careful to carry out these commands,
then kings who sit on David's throne will come through the gates of this
palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials
and their people. But if you do not obey these commands, declares the
LORD, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.' "
