The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. Proverbs 29:7
For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Exodus 23:10-11
When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:9-10
Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered. Proverbs 21:13
The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor. Proverbs 22:9
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40
