Isaiah 1:16-17 and Micah 6:8 offer a convenient summary of the biblical mandate for the behavior of societies as well as individuals:
1) Cease to do evil.
2) Learn to do good.
3) Do/seek justice.
4) Love kindness.
5) Rebuke the oppressor.
6) Defend the fatherless and plead for the widow.
7) Walk humbly with God.
All of these are tall orders for even the best earthly government just as they are for each individual. But this is the standard to which we are called.
