What does the Bible say about the oppression of the poor?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that the oppressed have no comforter and highlights God's compassion for the poor.

In Ecclesiastes 4, Solomon expresses his sorrow over the oppressions that occur under the sun and notes that the oppressed often have no comforter. This reflects a deep compassion found in both Solomon and in the character of Christ. Our Lord also became the comforter for the oppressed, demonstrating His care and willingness to deliver them from their circumstances. The heart of God's people is similarly moved to weep for those who suffer, recognizing that outside of Christ, individuals endure horrific conditions without hope.
