Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.As for me, I said,“ O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!”

Ezekiel 18:25-30
“ Yet you say,‘ The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice that he has done he shall die.Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life.Because he considered and turned away from all the transgressions that he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die.Yet the house of Israel says,‘ The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, are my ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?“ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.“ Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
