“If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment
and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter; for he that is higher than the
highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”—
Ecclesiastes.
“And he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but
behold a cry.”—
Isaiah.
