“The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.”
The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern—a statement of the moral distinction between the righteous and wicked regarding treatment of the poor, establishing that concern for justice is a mark of righteousness. The theological significance involves the principle of the inseparability of righteousness and justice.
