But unjust societies are ones in which people find themselves helpless with no one to turn to because the rules and the laws favor fewer people who have greater power. In the bible, god repeatedly calls for justice for widows, widows, and foreigners, and orphans, people who could be taken advantage of by the system. And when those kind of people seek aid or hope, everybody says, well, you know, we feel bad for you, but rules are rules. And god knows that in other nations, fatherless kids and grieving wives and sojourners from other lands were kicked aside and ignored, and God would not allow Israel to become that kind of nation.
