Psalm 25:11-20

11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;

18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.

20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

Job 24:1-8

24 Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;

They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;

They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.

Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.

They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;

They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;

They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock …

James 2:1-7

My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:

for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,

and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:

have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?

Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?

But *ye* have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals?

And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
