Deuteronomy 28:33
28:33 As for the produce of your land and all your labor, a people you do not know will consume it, and you will be nothing but oppressed and crushed for the rest of your lives.
Deuteronomy 28:2
28:2 All these blessings will come to you in abundance
if you obey the
Lord your God:
Deuteronomy 15:16-20
15:16 However, if the servant
says to you, “I do not want to leave
you,” because he loves you and your household, since he is well off with you,
15:17 you shall take an awl and pierce a hole through his ear to the door.
Then he will become your servant permanently (this applies to your female servant as well).
15:18 You should not consider it difficult to let him go free, for he will have served you for six years, twice
the time of a hired worker; the
Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
Giving God the Best
15:19 You must set apart for the Lord your God every firstborn male born to your herds and flocks. You must not work the firstborn of your bulls or shear the firstborn of your flocks.
15:20 You and your household must eat them annually before the Lord your God in the place he chooses.
Deuteronomy 15:1
Release for Debt Slaves
15:1 At the end of every seven years you must declare a cancellation of debts.
Amos 5:11-12
5:11 Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops
and exact a grain tax from them,
you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone,
nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.
5:12 Certainly I am aware of your many rebellious acts
and your numerous sins.
You torment the innocent, you take bribes,
and you deny justice to the needy at the city gate.
