What bible says about justice. I know that Jehovah will defend the lowly and give justice to the poor Psalm 14012 Gods Kingdom will bring true justice to the earth. And deliver the person who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor That My wrath may not go forth like fire And burn with none to extinguish it Because of the evil of their deeds.

When were treated unfairly its natural to want justice. What Does the Bible Say About Justiceit means doing whats right ensuring that everyones equal before the law that theres no tinkering with the measurements and weights in favor of the rich theres no partiality and court favoring one group over another not even the king is above the law of the King of kings.

Here I look at what the Bible says. Truth has stumbled in the streets honesty cannot enter. The LORD reigns let the earth be gladrighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne Psalm 971-2.
How do we balance forgiveness and grace with truth and consequences. Furthermore the Bible supports the notion of social justice in which concern and care are shown to the plight of the poor and afflicted Deuteronomy 1018. Isaiah lived in a time when Judah was struggling under the weight of injustice.
Truth is nowhere to be found and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. He has the ultimate authority to judge what is right and wrong and will be the one to carry out judgment on the world Ecclesiastes 317. The Bibles definition of justice is conformity to a rule or standard However the Bibles norm or standard is Gods own holy character not a set of laws or statutes a human might have in mind as we relate to the governments of men.
