Is not this the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

At the end of seven years let each man free his brother, a Hebrew, who has been sold to him. And when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you. But your fathers did not heed me, nor extend their ears.

And you had turned today, and had done what was right in My eyes proclaiming liberty, each man to his neighbor. And you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name.

Let brotherly love continue.

Remember the prisoners as if bound with them; and those who are mistreated, as also being in the body, yourselves.

Please, let our rulers be appointed out of the whole assembly; and let all those in our cities who have dwelt with foreign women come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God in this matter is turned away from us.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever gauge you measure, it will be measured back to you.

For judgment will be without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Indeed, mercy rejoices over judgment.
