Care for Needy

Wicked and greedy people are described as taking advantage of the poor. These people think God is not watching, but God does care for the needy.

A way to make money is to oppress the poor. Often people are poor because they are in a desperate situation or don’t have the skills to manage their money well. This makes them easy targets for convincing them to do things that will make their situation worse. They can’t afford lawyers, so it can be tempting to treat them unfairly. God does not approve of these tactics. It’s fine to make money, but not by taking advantage of the poor.
