Season 1 Episode 320
Poor Completely
3
A poor person who oppresses the poor
is like a pounding rain that destroys the crops.
4
To reject the law is to praise the wicked;
to obey the law is to fight them.
5
Evil people don’t understand justice,
but those who follow the Lord understand completely.
Today's proverbs are pretty straightforward. You might wonder why it's considered worse for a needy man to oppress the poor than for a rich man. The reason is that a needy man, having experienced hardship, should have empathy for those he’s mistreating. It's bad for a rich man to oppress the poor, but even worse for someone who knows what it's like to struggle.
Verse 4 explains that lawbreakers often praise wicked people because they reject the very laws that are rooted in Scripture. In contrast, those who respect the law stand against lawbreakers.
Verse 5 points out that evil people don’t understand justice because true justice comes from God's wisdom. Those who seek God will find wisdom and, with it, a true sense of justice.
Think about this: Are you aware of any instances where the poor are being oppressed in your community? If so, what are you doing to address it?
