but behold mispat ("bloodshed"); for tsedaqua, but behold tseaqua
(the cry that attends anarchy, covetousness, and dissipation, Isa 5:8,11,12; compare the
cry of the rabble by which justice was overborne in the case of Jesus Christ, Mt
27:23,24)." |

song." |

| "It is important for our
children to see us and to help us be involved in tending the

not inspired by the greed of our capitalist culture gone
wrong." |

Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
| "Yet, frequently in
Scripture all of that is expressed not just in terms of specific laws or
regulations or rituals, but simply summarized by the terms righteousness
and justice. In other words, the expectation of God from these people
whom he had created and "planted" in the land was that they
should be righteous and practice justice." |
