Conflict, the Cry of the Poor, and the Way of Understanding
Domestic conflict may make even a rooftop corner preferable, while the wicked become indifferent to neighbors. Refusing the cry of the poor has a reciprocal moral consequence, and wandering from understanding is described as joining the assembly of the dead.
Proverbs says the one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry and not be heard; 1 John asks how God’s love can dwell in someone who sees need and shuts up compassion.
