If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter: for one official is eyed by a higher one; and there are officials over them.


Strong's King James

If thou seest{H7200}{(H8799)} the oppression{H6233} of the poor{H7326}{(H8802)}, and violent{H1499} perverting of judgment{H4941} and justice{H6664} in a province{H4082}, marvel{H8539}{(H8799)} not at the matter{H2656}: for he that is higher{H1364} than the highest{H1364} regardeth{H8104}{(H8802)}; and there be higher{H1364} than they{H5921}.
