Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
—Proverbs 3:31-32 (KJV)
God does not like bullies, oppressors, or exploiters. Those who control by intimidation and violence are detestable and an abomination to the LORD. We are not to idolize, praise, or reward those who have risen to power by exploiting others.
Father and Sovereign LORD, please break the power of the oppressors who persecute and abuse your people.
