The concept of oppression is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of such actions and God's response to them.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The Old Testament frequently addresses the issue of oppression, particularly in the context of social justice and the treatment of the vulnerable. In <a href="/exodus/3-9.htm">Exodus 3:9</a>, God acknowledges the suffering of the Israelites under Egyptian bondage: "And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them." Here, God is portrayed as a deliverer who hears the cries of the oppressed and acts on their behalf.<br><br>The Law given to Israel contains numerous injunctions against oppression. For example, <a href="/leviticus/19-13.htm">Leviticus 19:13</a> commands, "You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand." This reflects God's concern for justice and fair treatment in economic dealings.<br><br>The prophets also speak out against oppression. <a href="/isaiah/1-17.htm">Isaiah 1:17</a> exhorts, "Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow." The prophets often called Israel to repentance for failing to uphold justice and for allowing oppression to flourish.<br><br><b>New Testament Insights</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the theme of oppression is addressed in the context of the Kingdom of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself identifies with the oppressed, as seen in <a href="/luke/4-18.htm">Luke 4:18</a>, where He declares, "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed."<br><br>The early church is encouraged to stand against oppression and to care for those who are marginalized. <a href="/james/5-4.htm">James 5:4</a> warns against the oppression of workers: "Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts."<br><br><b>God's Justice and the Oppressor</b><br><br>Throughout the Bible, God is depicted as a righteous judge who will ultimately hold oppressors accountable. <a href="/psalms/72-4.htm">Psalm 72:4</a> speaks of the ideal king who "will vindicate the afflicted among the people; He will save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor." This reflects the biblical hope that God will establish justice and righteousness on the earth.<br><br>The Scriptures consistently affirm that God is on the side of the oppressed and that He calls His people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him (<a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a>). The biblical narrative encourages believers to resist oppression in all its forms and to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves, embodying the justice and compassion of God in a fallen world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) One who oppresses; one who imposes unjust burdens on others; one who harasses others with unjust laws or unreasonable severity.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/6216.htm"><span class="l">6216. ashoq -- <b>oppressor</b>, extortioner</span></a><br><b>...</b> 6215, 6216. ashoq. 6217 . <b>oppressor</b>, extortioner.
