For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. Deuteronomy 10:17-18
You shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus 23:9
And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not vex him Leviticus 19:33
Cursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. Deuteronomy 27:19
Thus said the LORD; Execute you judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. Jeremiah 22:3
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. Ezekiel 22:29
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, said the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:5
That last one's included to show the company that Gohmert puts himself in, according to the scripture he pretends to revere. I hope he enjoys it.
I can always tell some "atheist" who hasn't a clue what's in the Hebrew Scriptures because they tell me it's full of blood and violence and vengeance, when the most persistent thread in those books is justice.
