Justice in the Bible can be defined as treating all people, based on God's laws and their spiritual intent, in a just, fair and equitable manner. This, of course, should always be exercised without bias or prejudice, such as regarding someone's status in society, how rich or poor they are, and so on.

Jesus, when he comes back to earth at his Second Coming, will set up the Kingdom of God on the earth. His rule will insure that righteous justice and judgment come to humans (Isaiah 9:6 - 7).

Justice can be viewed as fullfilling the famous "golden rule" which states the following.

Therefore, everything that you would have men do to you, so also do to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12, HBFV).

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; (Proverbs 1:1, 3).

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter . . . (Ecclesiastes 5:8).

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice (Proverbs 21:3, NIV).

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion . . . I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign and princes decree justice (Proverbs 8:12, 14 - 15).

It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel (Proverbs 20:3).
