Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Declare to my people:
To loosen the chains of injustice;
To set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
And do not exploit your workers.
If you expect to have your voice heard on high.
End your quarreling and strife.
Share your food with the hungry.
Provide the homeless with clothing and shelter
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
Then your righteousness will go forth before you.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: “Here am I.”
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.
Isaiah 58
