Woe to you who make your wealth by the labor of others and then withhold a fair and just wage to those who made you your fortune. God shows partiality to no man and loves each of us equally....we will be held accountable for our unjust treatment of others whether corporately or individually.
The Pharisees worried about tithing ten percent, even down to the smallest herbs, which were tithed according to the dictates of tradition, not the Law of Moses. The Law spoke of tithing all produce, but what constituted food was debated. Some Pharisees took the strictest interpretation and counted almost anything, including spices. However, they neglected two basic things that the prophets also had warned about: love and justice.
Luke 11:42-43
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
