Burden For The Poor

not sure if this is implying that the people that are supposed to be working for him cant because they are slaves to each other. dont really know whats going on. i dont see that poverty is now his burden. where did that even come from? yeah they bought them back. and they loaned out money. and big interest but its not connecting. injustice? sure...weve heard not to lend. and not to lend with interest. so how is this unjust? is it wrong that they are charging interest? really high or not? they could just not agree to the terms. but where would that leave them? it would leave their jewish brothers still in the slavery they sold themselves into. why did they do that? what drove them there? i dont know. but its like sleep in the bed you made. because these other people trying to "clean up" after you are making a bigger mess. though there is "injustice" theres still justice in it. on some level. we cant save ourselves or each other. but we can hope and pray.pray that god be god in our lives. god is a just god. god is a mercifull god. is that injustice? the injustice lies in us. me. to not stick up for. to not pray. to not try and help. god help me to see people how you see them. and to pray for those in need. of what? you. to be a watchman. and to encourage and love.
in context there is purpose and reason. this out of context and to make a point fails. and what does fasting have to do with it? i didnt because it was illogical and unneccesary at this pointt. but it doesnt rlate to the passage. they werent without food because in the efforts of self preservation they were selling whatever to get by. even borrowing under interest. so the fasting idea for this is pointless and doesnt relate.
