When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me.. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood!.... They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widows case does not come before them. Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. (Isaiah 1:12-25) 9

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
