God actually commands against “social justice”.
“Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.”
Leviticus 19:15
Of course, the Bible also states, “He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.” Proverbs 14:31
But that commands charity and justice, not “social justice”.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts".
Isaiah 55:9
The world's sense of right and wrong, when compared to God's, is meaningless. It is convoluted and often backwards, mistaking right from wrong and wrong from right. The devil takes advantage of this of course.
"For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
Those travelling the broad road think they're going the right way, doing the right things. But they judge their actions based on popular opinion, from those already on that road.
