너희의 허물이 많고 죄악이 중함을 내가 아노라 너희는 의인을 학대하며 뇌물을 받고 성문에서 궁핍한 자를 억울하게 하는 자로다
In most cases, "needy" in the Bible refers to people who lack true knowledge of the Lord and his teachings, but have a desire to learn. Often, especially in the New Testament, it relates to the Gentiles. In some cases, the Bible speaks of "the poor and needy" together; in these cases "poor" means those lacking the desire to be good and "needy" those lacking knowledge. Due to translation issues, though, "poor" and "needy" are often used interchangeably, and the term "beggar" is sometimes used as well.
