This is my chosen fast: to loosen all the bonds that bind men unfairly,
to let the oppressed go free, to break every yoke. Share your bread
with the hungry, take the homeless into your home. Clothe the naked
when you see him, do not turn away from people in need. . . . If you
remove from your midst the yoke of oppression, the finger of scorn
and the tongue of malice, if you put yourself out for the hungry and
relieve the wretched, then shall your light shine in darkness, and
your gloom shall be as noonday. . . . And you shall be like a watered
garden, like a never-failing spring. And you shall rebuild ancient
ruins, restoring old foundations. You shall be known as the rebuilder
of broken walls, the restorer of dwelling places.
-- Book of Isaiah
