God Blesses Those Who Seek Justice

 

Psalm 34:15

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry. 

 

Psalm 106:3

Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right. 

 

Psalm 112:5

Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. 

 

Proverbs 14:31

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. 

 

Proverbs 21:5

When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. 

 

Ecclesiastes 8:12 

Although a wicked man commits a hundred crimes and still lives a long time, I know that it will go better with God-fearing men, who are reverent before God.  

 

Jeremiah 22:13-17

Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his countrymen work for nothing, not paying them for their labor.  He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace with spacious upper rooms.’ So he makes large windows in it, panels it with cedar and decorates it in red. ‘Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar?  Did not your father have food and drink? He did what was right and just, so all went well with him.  He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.  Is that not what it means to know me?’ declares the LORD.
