 Isaiah 28:6-12

6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

       to loose the chains of injustice

       and untie the cords of the yoke,

       to set the oppressed free

       and break every yoke?

 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry

       and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-

       when you see the naked, to clothe him,

       and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

 9 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,

 10 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.

 11 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.

 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins

       and will raise up the age-old foundations;

       you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,

       Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
