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?
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Therefore thus saith YY -TZvaot, the Elohim of Yisrael; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from YY Elohim of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
