- the heritage:
- "The wicked² man¹ travaileth²° with pain¹ all¹ [his] days,ª and the numberª of yearsª is hiddenª° to the oppressor.ª ... They conceiveª° mischief,ª and bring forthª° vanity,ª and their bellyª preparethª° deceit.ª" {Job 15:20-35} + "Because¹ he hath oppressedª° [and] hath forsakenª° the poor;ª [because] he hath violently taken awayª° an houseª which he buildedª° not;¹ ... This¹ [is] the portionª of a wickedª manª from God,ª¹ and the heritageª appointedª unto him by God.ª¹" {Job 20:19-29} + "For the oppressionª¹ of the poor,ª for the sighingª¹ of the needy,ª now¹ will I arise,ª° saithª° the LORD;ª I will setª° [him] in safetyª [from him that] puffethª° at him." {Psa 12:5} + "Robª° not¹ the poor,ª because¹ he¹ [is] poor:ª neither¹ oppressª° the afflictedª in the gate:ª ... For¹ the LORDª will pleadª° their cause,ª and spoilª° the soulª of¹ those that spoiledª° them." {Prv 22:22-23} + "And I will come nearª° to¹ you to judgment;ª and I will be¹ a swiftª° witnessª against the sorcerers,ª° and against the adulterers,ª° and against falseª swearers,ª° and against those that oppressª° the hirelingª in [his] wages,ª the widow,ª and the fatherless,ª and that turn asideª° the strangerª [from his right], and fearª° not¹ me, saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 3:5} + "Behold,ª° the¹ hireª of the¹ labourersª who² have reaped downª° yourª fields,ª which² is ofª youª kept back by fraud,ª° crieth:ª° andª the¹ cries²¹ of them which have reapedª° are enteredª° intoª the¹ earsª of the Lordª of sabaoth.ª ... Ye have condemnedª° [and] killedª° the¹ just;ª [and] he doth²° notª resistª° you.ª¹" {Jms 5:4-6}
