You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
— Leviticus 22:22
Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
— Isaiah 28:13
Government exists to defend the weak and the poor and the injured party; the rich and the strong can better take care of themselves.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
