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 him, and not to turn
away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth
like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness
will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard
(Isaiah 58:7-8)
