VERSE OF THE DAYJohn 8:12 (NIV)

EXTRAORDINARY NEWS · QUESTION 160 OF 311

Why does poverty feel like a slow execution?

Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

This verse is printed here. Compare the passage in NIV.

The prophet condemns burdening the poor. Poverty can involve injustices beyond individual control; you deserve material support and fair treatment.
