Does it mean it is OK for the foreigners to steal what ain't theirs to begin wit

[Dexter2020]

Does it mean it is OK for the foreigners to steal what ain't theirs to begin with and snatch what is our and label us as covetousness when we are trying to get our job back. Those foreigners are just belant thieves robbing what ain't theirs and made it theirs.

 

[Articles]

We hear the deep frustration and sense of injustice in your words, and we want to address this with truth, love, and the wisdom of Scripture. First, let us affirm that God hates theft, exploitation, and injustice in any form. The Bible is clear:

"You shall not steal." (Exodus 20:15 WEB)
"Do not exploit the poor because they are poor, and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life." (Proverbs 22:22-23 WEB)

If someone, whether a foreigner or a fellow citizen, has taken what rightfully belongs to you, whether a job, property, or opportunity, that is wrong in God’s eyes. The Lord sees your struggle and hears your cry for justice. We stand with you in praying for restoration and fairness.

However, we must also gently correct some of the language and attitudes in your message. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbors, all of them, as ourselves (Mark 12:31 WEB). While it is right to oppose injustice, it is never right to harbor hatred or make sweeping judgments about entire groups of people. Scripture warns:

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (Ephesians 4:29 WEB)
"If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you do well. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors." (James 2:8-9 WEB)

Labeling others as "thieves" simply because of their nationality or background is not only uncharitable but also contrary to God’s command to love. Instead, we should pray for wisdom to address the specific wrongs without sinning in our anger (Ephesians 4:26 WEB). If someone has stolen from you, the proper response is to seek justice through lawful means, not bitterness or retaliation.

We also want to remind you that our ultimate hope and security are in Christ, not in jobs, possessions, or earthly justice. While we work diligently and seek fairness, we must trust God as our Provider:

"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33 WEB)
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your justice and Your peace. Lord, You see the pain and frustration of those who feel wronged, and You hear the cries of those who have been treated unfairly. We ask that You would bring restoration where there has been loss, and justice where there has been injustice. Father, we repent for any bitterness, hatred, or unrighteous anger in our hearts. Cleanse us and fill us with Your love, even for those who have wronged us.

Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment for those who feel their livelihoods have been taken. Give them the strength to seek justice in ways that honor You, without sinning in their anger. Provide for their needs, open doors of opportunity, and remind them that You are their ultimate Provider. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You will never forsake them.

We also pray for those who have acted unjustly, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Soften their hearts, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Let them see the harm they have caused and make restitution where it is needed. May Your grace transform their lives so they no longer walk in greed or exploitation.

Father, we ask that You would heal the divisions in our communities. Teach us to love our neighbors as ourselves, to see every person as made in Your image, and to extend grace even when it is difficult. Let Your Church be a light in these dark times, showing the world what it means to walk in love, justice, and truth.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who came to bring justice and mercy, and through whom we have access to Your throne of grace. Amen.

In your situation, we encourage you to take practical steps to address the injustice you’ve experienced. If your job was taken unlawfully, seek legal counsel or speak with your employer to understand your rights. If the issue is broader, such as unfair hiring practices, consider advocating for change through lawful and peaceful means. Above all, guard your heart against bitterness, for it only harms you in the end (Hebrews 12:15 WEB).

Remember, the Lord is your Defender and your Provider. Trust in Him, and He will guide your steps.

We hear the weight of what you’re carrying, the loss of a job that was yours, the feeling of being pushed out and then accused of wanting what you once had. That kind of injustice cuts deep, and the anger that rises up is completely human. When your security and identity have been wrapped up in that work, it’s no wonder you’re wrestling with bitterness toward those you see as having taken it. That wound is real, and we don’t want to minimize it.

In times like this, it’s easy for resentment to become the loudest voice in our heads, replaying the offense, tightening its grip. But we’ve learned that holding onto that anger tends to hurt us more than anyone else. It can cloud our thinking and make the next steps harder to see. So while we wouldn’t pretend the loss isn’t painful or the sense of being wronged isn’t intense, we’d gently encourage you not to let the “who did it” become the whole focus. That often steals energy you need right now for rebuilding.

Your worth as a person was never defined by that job, even though it feels like a part of you has been torn away. Many of us have walked through unemployment and felt that same panic and shame. A practical next step might be to find someone you trust, a pastor, a level-headed friend, or a career counselor, and talk it through. Not just to vent, but to sort out what can actually be done: updating a résumé, tapping your network, maybe even rethinking what kind of work would use your skills without reopening this wound. Getting a clear plan, even a small one, can help you feel less helpless.

We’ll pray with you now.

Jesus, you see this pain and the anger that’s come with it. You know the injustice this person feels, and you care about every part of their life, their dignity, their finances, their future. Please quiet the storm inside. Give them a steady mind to take the next right step, and open a door that no resentment can block. Provide for every need, and heal the bitterness so it won’t poison their heart. Thank you that they are precious to you, job or no job. In your strong name we ask it. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart is heard in the courts of heaven, yet it echoes a danger older than the hills. When the Sabeans fell upon Job’s oxen and the Chaldeans swept away his camels, they were but thieves and robbers. Job knew it was a bitter wrong, a snatching of what was not theirs. Yet in all this, the Scripture records, “Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.” There is the narrow path you must tread. The world may call your righteous claim covetousness, and that sting cuts deep, but what will you call the boiling within your own breast? See to it that a just cause is not marred by an unjust spirit. The thief is condemned by the commandment, but the man who nurses his grievance until it turns to gall and bitterness stands likewise in peril.

Do not mistake me. To desire the return of what was yours by honest labor is not the covetousness Scripture condemns. Yet when that desire grows into a feverish grasping and a venomous eye fixed upon the foreigner, you may be losing more than lands or wages, you may be suffering the loss of your own soul. What will it profit a man if he regains his estate and forfeits his peace with God? Job sat upon the ashes, his body a ruin, his substance gone, his name slandered by his friends who called him a hypocrite. Yet he did not let the injustice drive him to unbelief. He did not curl his lip and rage against the thieves as though God had abdicated His throne. He held fast to this: that the Lord is just, and though he could not untangle the knot, he would trust the hand that held the cord.

Consider that the evil one desired to have Job, to sift him as wheat. The thieves were but the sieve in the devil’s hand. His design was not merely to strip Job of his camels, but to strip him of his confidence in God. If he could extract a rebellious speech, the Tempter would hold the victory. And what is your adversary seeking now? Not simply to see you deprived of your place, but to see you provoked to wrath, to accusation, to a tongue that speaks unworthily of God’s providence. You charge them with being blatant thieves; lay the charge where it belongs, but do not let your indignation become your master. Vengeance is the Lord’s; He will repay. Your part is to keep your garment unspotted from the world’s malice and your own.

Look well to your own soul. If any should fall into sin over this matter, it must not be you. Job’s friends assailed him with harsh words, and it was when he prayed for those who had offended him that the Lord turned his captivity. Intercessory prayer was the omen of his returning greatness. Can you pray for those who have snatched what is yours? Not a prayer perfumed with bitterness that God would merely thwart them, but a genuine crying out for their souls? That is the high ground of the believer. Until then, your captivity may well remain. The Lord is able to restore the years the locust has eaten, but He will often wait until our hearts are soft enough to intercede. Do not multiply your losses by adding to the wrong a spirit that is wrung out of shape. Let your bow be renewed in your hand, not by brooding over the theft, but by casting your care upon Him who sees and judges righteously.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Settle your spirit, and look not so much at what others are doing, but rather at the state of your own soul before God. For you speak of thieves and robbers, but injustice is judged not by the measure of the things taken, but by the intention of those who commit the act. Even the one who pays less than the value, or debates to gain an advantage in small matters, is no different from a cut-purse or a house-breaker. If you let this suspicion and anger breed within you, it produces not only corrupt speech but a root of covetousness in your own heart. You may pay the penalty, not for your deeds only, but also for your words.

The one who practices injustice suffers far more bitterness than the one who is wronged. For what is the true evil? Is it not the gnawing of conscience, the anxious slumbers, the loss of peace? Even here, before the judgment to come, the greedy and the envious are already punished, being eaten up with envy, false accusation, and plotting. Yet you, if you have truly suffered loss, have an opportunity to show a philosophic soul. Has want befallen you? Give thanks to God, and the evil is changed into good. For if we bear things meekly, we receive a reward even here, being freed from anxiety, rivalry, and the misery of covetousness.

Do not be like those who bring accusations out of jealousy or vainglory, whose hearts are full of robberies, frauds, and mean flatteries. Instead, master your anger. If Christ rebuked the world not out of spite but for its healing, and did not answer reviling with reviling, how much more should we, being dust and ashes, be content to leave vengeance to God? Trust that no wrong goes unseen, and work not to snatch back what you think is yours by force or bitterness, but rather seek the honor that comes from God alone.

Your frustration runs deep, and the sense of injustice is sharp when you see what you’ve built or earned taken by others who had no right to it, only to be told your desire to recover it is the real sin. That kind of accusation twists everything inside. The book of Job deals with a similar tangle. Job lost everything, his possessions were stolen by raiders, his livelihood stripped away, and the men who came to comfort him ended up accusing him of hidden wickedness. They insisted that suffering like his could only fall on someone who had done wrong. They took the facts around them and forced them into a neat, false pattern: you reap what you sow, so you must have sown something evil. That line of thought was a heavy burden laid on a man already crushed.

When Eliphaz spoke, he pointed to robbers and natural disasters and said, “This is judgment. Get right with God.” Bildad followed, calling Job a hypocrite who just needed to plead for mercy. Zophar piled on with more rebuke. They were so sure they understood what God was doing. But they were wrong. The whole heavenly scene they never knew about, the accuser challenging Job’s integrity, the permission granted for testing, puts their confident verdicts to shame. God was not punishing Job for secret sins. And Job, in his anguish, said things out of raw grief that cannot be read as careful doctrine. He cried out for a daysman, a mediator who could lay a hand on both man and God, because the gap felt unbridgeable.

Your ache for what was taken is real. The feeling that you have been mislabeled and misjudged goes deep. Yet the temptation is to handle it the way Job’s friends did, to define the other side so thoroughly as thieves and hypocrites that the whole story feels settled. But the story is never as simple as we paint it when pain is fresh. Job’s own path teaches that quick, sweeping accusations, even when they carry a grain of truth about wrong being done, can miss what God is actually doing. He was working something in Job that none of them could see, something that would bring Job to say at last, “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

None of this excuses genuine theft or injustice. The Bible condemns stealing, and the prophets cry out against those who snatch what belongs to the poor. But the answer to such wrong is not to become what you despise, nor to let the poison of bitterness replace a cry for justice. Job lost his substance to raiders, yet when God finally spoke, He didn’t give Job a neat explanation about the Sabeans and Chaldeans. He revealed Himself, His power, His ordering of creation, His right to govern things beyond human reach. In the end, the stolen goods were restored, but the deeper restoration came when Job saw the Lord more clearly.

So bring the anger and the sense of violation honestly before God. Ask Him for justice. But also ask Him to keep you from the trap that snared Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, the trap of thinking you know exactly what God owes you and exactly why others act as they do. The cry of the human heart after meaning and vindication finds its answer not in winning every argument or reclaiming every penny, but in the One who stood between heaven and earth. Jesus does what Job longed for: He lays His hand on both, the holy God and the broken man. He took the ultimate robbery of sin and death and bore it Himself so that no accusation can finally stand against those who are in Him. Lay your case there. The justice you crave may come in ways you do not expect, but the peace that guards your heart will keep you from being consumed by what was taken.
