Verses on God's disdain for evil and wicked
“The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence” (Psalm 11:5).
He hates wicked people from his soul, from the very depth of his being. God hates their ways (Proverbs 15:9), their thoughts (Proverbs 15:26), their worship (Proverbs 15:8), their actions (Proverbs 6:18), and their evil deeds (Psalm 5:5).
He singles out as a special object of his hatred the blasphemous deeds of the Nicolaitans, those who seduced God’s people with idolatry and sexual immorality. “Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate” (Revelation 2:6).
Oppression
Psalm 12:5
5 “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.”
Psalm 72:14
14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;
And precious shall be their blood in His sight.
Psalm 103:6
6 The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
Jeremiah 30:20
20 Their children will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established before me;
I will punish all who oppress them.
Acts 10:38
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Luke 4:18
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
Justice
Amos 5:24
24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!
