IS NOT THIS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN? To loose the bands of wickedness, ---
to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? ---
TO DEAL THY BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, - Then shalt thy light break forth as the
morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily; --- and if thou draw out of thy soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul; --- the Lord shall guide thee continually, - and thou shalt be like a
watered garden, --- The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.

--- ye gave ME no meat --- And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment; but the righteous into life eternal.
