Learning to do Good

Isaiah 1:17 NIV

“Learn to do good.
Seek justice,
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless,
Plead for the rights of the widow.”

Isaiah 58:6-12 NIV

“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?
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 them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, “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.

You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

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 Homes.”
