"Thus has the LORD of hosts said, 'Dispense true justice and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother;God gave the people a very simple command. They were to be just, but compassionate. If everyone agrees on what constitutes justice, it's actually a pretty straightforward direction to follow and obey.
However, we are very good at disagreeing about what should constitute justice, and how one should be compassionate. Even in the church today, there's widespread disagreement on what these can mean. Just because something is simple, doesn't make it easy.
