James 2:6
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

לֹעֵג לָרָשׁ חֵרֵף עֹשֵׂהוּ שָׂמֵחַ לְאֵיד לֹא יִנָּקֶֽה׃
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
μὴ γὰρ οἰκίας οὐκ ἔχετε εἰς τὸ ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν ἢ τῆς ἐκκλησίας τοῦ θεοῦ καταφρονεῖτε καὶ καταισχύνετε τοὺς μὴ ἔχοντας τί ὑμῖν εἴπω ἐπαινέσω ὑμᾶς ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐπαινῶ
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
עֹשֵֽׁק דָּל חֵרֵף עֹשֵׂהוּ וּמְכַבְּדוֹ חֹנֵן אֶבְיֽוֹן׃
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
עֲצַת-עָנִי תָבִישׁוּ כִּי יְהוָה מַחְסֵֽהוּ׃
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
שִׁמְעוּ-זֹאת הַשֹּׁאֲפִים אֶבְיוֹן וְלַשְׁבִּית (ענוי) עֲנִיֵּי-אָֽרֶץ׃
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ κύριοι αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ἐργασίας αὐτῶν ἐπιλαβόμενοι τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σιλᾶν εἵλκυσαν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
וְאַלְמָנָה וְיָתוֹם גֵּר וְעָנִי אַֽל-תַּעֲשֹׁקוּ וְרָעַת אִישׁ אָחִיו אַֽל-תַּחְשְׁבוּ בִּלְבַבְכֶֽם׃
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
ἰδού ὁ μισθὸς τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν ἀμησάντων τὰς χώρας ὑμῶν ὁ ἀπεστερημένος ἀφ' ὑμῶν κράζει καὶ αἱ βοαὶ τῶν θερισάντων εἰς τὰ ὦτα κυρίου Σαβαὼθ εἰσεληλύθασιν
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
עֹשֵֽׁק דָּל לְהַרְבּוֹת לוֹ נֹתֵן לְעָשִׁיר אַךְ-לְמַחְסֽוֹר׃
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
μὴ εὑρόντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔσυρον τὸν Ἰάσονα καί τινας ἀδελφοὺς ἐπὶ τοὺς πολιτάρχας βοῶντες ὅτι Οἱ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἀναστατώσαντες οὗτοι καὶ ἐνθάδε πάρεισιν
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned upside down the world are come hither also;
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עַל-שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל-אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַל-מִכְרָם בַּכֶּסֶף צַדִּיק וְאֶבְיוֹן בַּעֲבוּר נַעֲלָֽיִם׃
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
אִם-עֹשֶׁק רָשׁ וְגֵזֶל מִשְׁפָּט וָצֶדֶק תִּרְאֶה בַמְּדִינָה אַל-תִּתְמַהּ עַל-הַחֵפֶץ כִּי גָבֹהַּ מֵעַל גָּבֹהַּ שֹׁמֵר וּגְבֹהִים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
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.
הַאֶזְכֶּה בְּמֹאזְנֵי רֶשַׁע וּבְכִיס אַבְנֵי מִרְמָֽה׃
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
רָאִתָה כִּֽי-אַתָּה׀ עָמָל וָכַעַס׀ תַּבִּיט לָתֵת בְּיָדֶךָ עָלֶיךָ יַעֲזֹב חֵלֶכָה יָתוֹם אַתָּה׀ הָיִיתָ עוֹזֵֽר׃
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
וּמָצָא בָהּ אִישׁ מִסְכֵּן חָכָם וּמִלַּט-הוּא אֶת-הָעִיר בְּחָכְמָתוֹ וְאָדָם לֹא זָכַר אֶת-הָאִישׁ הַמִּסְכֵּן הַהֽוּא׃
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
לָכֵן יַעַן בּוֹשַׁסְכֶם עַל-דָּל וּמַשְׂאַת-בַּר תִּקְחוּ מִמֶּנּוּ בָּתֵּי גָזִית בְּנִיתֶם וְלֹא-תֵשְׁבוּ בָם כַּרְמֵי-חֶמֶד נְטַעְתֶּם וְלֹא תִשְׁתּוּ אֶת-יֵינָֽם׃
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
καὶ ἐπιβλέψητε ἐπὶ τὸν φοροῦντα τὴν ἐσθῆτα τὴν λαμπρὰν καὶ εἴπητε αὐτῷ Σὺ κάθου ὧδε καλῶς καὶ τῷ πτωχῷ εἴπητε Σὺ στῆθι ἐκεῖ ἢ κάθου ὧδε ὑπὸ τὸ ὑποπόδιόν μου
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι παρώτρυναν τὰς σεβομένας γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς εὐσχήμονας καὶ τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπήγειραν διωγμὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Βαρναβᾶν καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν
the But the Jews stirred up devout and the honourable women, and the chief men of city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
Σαῦλος δὲ ἐλυμαίνετο τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους εἰσπορευόμενος σύρων τε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας παρεδίδου εἰς φυλακήν
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
מִשֹּׁד עֲנִיִּים מֵאֶנְקַת אֶבְיוֹנִים עַתָּה אָקוּם יֹאמַר יְהוָה אָשִׁית בְּיֵשַׁע יָפִיחַֽ לֽוֹ׃
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
