Deuteronomy 25:4

25:4 You must not muzzle your ¹  ox when it is treading grain.

Jeremiah 22:13

Judgment on Jehoiakim

22:13 “‘Sure to be judged ²  is the king who builds his palace using injustice

and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms. ³ 

He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing.

He does not pay them for their labor.

James 5:4

5:4 Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

¹ tn Heb “an.” By implication this is one’s own animal.

² sn Heb “Woe.” This particle is used in laments for the dead (cf., e.g., 1 Kgs 13:30; Jer 34:5) and as an introductory particle in indictments against a person on whom judgment is pronounced (cf., e.g., Isa 5:8, 11; Jer 23:1). The indictment is found here in vv. 13-17 and the announcement of judgment in vv. 18-19.

³ tn Heb “Woe to the one who builds his house by unrighteousness and its upper rooms with injustice using his neighbor [= countryman] as a slave for nothing and not giving to him his wages.”
