Isaiah 58:6-7: "This is the fast I wish: to drop the chains of injustice, untie the strings of the yoke, for freedom the oppressed and break all yoke. It is to share their food with the hungry, give shelter to the poor without Home, wear what you see naked and not refuse help to others. " This verse emphasizes the importance of social justice and the need to help the needy. Isaiah 1 also denounces social injustice and the need to do good to the needy.

The Lord have marked them as unable to receive instruction, they do not understand the word of the Lord."
