Who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free;
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again
to a yoke of slavery.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.
The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery.
They have oppressed the poor and needy, and have extorted from
the sojourner without justice.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
