Isaiah 58:6-11
"Loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke. Set the
oppressed free and break every yoke. Share your food with the hungry and
provide the poor wanderer with shelter, when you see the naked, clothe him,
and do not to turn away from your own flesh and blood."
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will
quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of
the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the LORD will
answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing
finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the
hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in
the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun
scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well?watered
garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
