Wars? Oppression?

James 4:1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Zech 7:10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless,
The alien or the poor.
Let none of you plan evil in his heart
Against his brother.’

Proverbs 22:22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;

Job 24:4 They push the needy off the road;
All the poor of the land are forced to hide.

Isaiah 3:15 What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord GOD of hosts.

Habakkuk 3:14 You thrust through with his own arrows
The head of his villages.
They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me;
Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret.

2 The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
