What does the Bible say about employer?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that employers must treat those who work for them with justice, dignity, compassion, and prompt, honest payment, remembering that God is the supreme Judge of all. Leviticus 25:43 forbids ruling workers harshly, while Leviticus 19:13 and Deuteronomy 24:14-15 condemn withholding or delaying wages, especially from the poor and vulnerable. Deuteronomy 5:14 also protects servants by requiring rest on the Sabbath. Job 31:13-15 grounds fair treatment in the truth that master and servant alike are made by the same God. Jeremiah 22:13 and Malachi 3:5 warn that God opposes those who exploit laborers. Employers therefore should exercise authority as stewards under Christ, not as oppressors.
