Proverbs 29:7
The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

One mark of the righteous man or woman is that they care for the poor. It is more than the response of feelings of pity; he considers the cause of the poor. It is thoughtful compassion in action.

Those who are wicked, rebellious against God and His wisdom, can't even understand such compassion. Since it doesn't directly serve their self-interest, they can't understand it. His ignorance and lack of understanding is not an intellectual defect but the expression of an evil perversion.

Application

Plan to do something for the poor.
