4. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, (10) but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Eternal your God: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements.

The prophets prophesy lies,
the governing priests enable them,
and My people actually love it!
But what will you do in the end?
(15) You shall not render an unfair decision: do not favor the poor or show deference to the rich; judge your kin fairly.

You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow Israelite or a stranger in one of the communities in your land. You must pay out the wages the same day, before the sun sets, for the worker is needy and urgently depends on it; else a cry to the Eternal will be issued against you and you will incur guilt.
(10) You shall not pick your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I the Eternal am your God.

The sojourner did not spend the night in the street. I would open my doors to the wayfarer.
(5) Is such the fast I desire, A day for men to starve their bodies? Is it bowing the head like a bulrush And lying in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call that a fast, A day when the Eternal is favorable? (6) No, this is the fast I desire: To unlock fetters of wickedness, And untie the cords of the yoke To let the oppressed go free; To break off every yoke. (7) It is to share your bread with the hungry, And to take the wretched poor into your home; When you see the naked, to clothe him, And not to ignore your own kin. (8) Then shall your light burst through like the dawn And your healing spring up quickly; Your Vindicator shall march before you, The Presence of the Eternal shall be your rear guard. (9) Then, when you call, the Eternal will answer; When you cry, God will say: Here I am.
