  8. Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 30:18 Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;    therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice.     Blessed are all who wait for him! Isaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them. Zechariah 7:9 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Micah 6:8 He has shown you what is good.    And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy    and to walk humbly with your God.
