After all, in the prophetic literature of the Bible, we learn that while the rulers of israel were feeling good about the size, success, and influence of the nation of israel, God viewed the lack of well-being of the widow, orphan, and alien as evidence of false worship (is 1:4, 16–17; 2:8; 3:13; 58:6; Ez 22:12). God's focus was on the treatment of the poor as the evidence of Israel's well-being.
