Exodus 22:21

22:21 “You must not wrong ¹  a foreigner ²  nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 23:9

23:9 “You must not oppress ³  a foreigner, since you know the life ⁴  of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

Jeremiah 7:6

7:6 Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands. ⁵  Stop killing innocent people ⁶  in this land. Stop paying allegiance to ⁷  other gods. That will only bring about your ruin. ⁸ 

Zechariah 7:10

7:10 You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, or the poor, nor should anyone secretly plot evil against his fellow human being.’

Malachi 3:5

3:5 “I ⁹  will come to you in judgment. I will be quick to testify against those who practice divination, those who commit adultery, those who break promises, ¹⁰  and those who exploit workers, widows, and orphans, ¹¹  who refuse to help ¹²  the immigrant ¹³  and in this way show they do not fear me,” says the Lord who rules over all.

James 2:6

2:6 But you have dishonored the poor! ¹⁴  Are not the rich oppressing you and dragging you into the courts?

¹ tn Or “oppress.”

² tn Or “alien,” both here and in 23:9. This individual is a resident foreigner; he lives in the land but, aside from provisions such as this, might easily be without legal rights.

³ tn The verb means “to crush.” S. R. Driver notes that in this context this would probably mean with an unfair judgment in the courts (Exodus, 239).

⁴ tn Heb “soul, life” – “you know what it feels like.”

⁵ tn Heb “Stop oppressing foreigner, orphan, and widow.”

⁶ tn Heb “Stop shedding innocent blood.”

⁷ tn Heb “going/following after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for an explanation of the idiom involved here.

⁸ tn Heb “going after other gods to your ruin.”

⁹ tn The first person pronoun (a reference to the Lord) indicates that the Lord himself now speaks (see also v. 1). The prophet speaks in vv. 2-4 (see also 2:17).

¹⁰ tn Heb “those who swear [oaths] falsely.” Cf. NIV “perjurers”; TEV “those who give false testimony”; NLT “liars.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and against the oppressors of the worker for a wage, [the] widow and orphan.”

¹² tn Heb “those who turn aside.”

¹³ tn Or “resident foreigner”; NIV “aliens”; NRSV “the alien.”

¹⁴ tn This is singular: “the poor person,” perhaps referring to the hypothetical one described in vv. 2-3.
