Who is it that God will seek revenge against? Who causes him to draw his sword and to call for justice? It is the abuser, the exploiter and the greedy, heartless man.
Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.
Exodus 22:22-24
Look around carefully to avoid taking advantage of the helpless. Search with fervent haste to take care of the needy to the fullest of your ability. Take stock and consider where you might be withholding good from someone you could be showing generosity to. Do not arouse the wrath of God!
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
If we want to be Christians indeed and not carry the name of the Lord in vain, we must do good to the most vulnerable.
