Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted
and needy.
Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your face.
Pro 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more pleasing to Jehovah than sacrifice.
Ecc 5:8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He who is higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.
Hab 1:4 Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted.
Col 3:25 But he who does wrong shall receive justice for the wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.
