Isaiah 58:9. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.
If you have cared for the needy, God will care for you when you are needy. Is it not his way to reward the gift of even a cup of cold water to one of his disciples? Has he not promised that he will give back again into our bosoms that which we have given to others for his sake?
Isaiah 58:9. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke,
If you do not oppress anybody,-
Isaiah 58:9. The putting forth of the finger,
That is, the finger pointing scornfully to people, and the contemptuous enquiry, "Who are they?" -- looking down upon your fellows, who perhaps are far better than yourself,-you must put all that away.
Isaiah 58:9. And speaking vanity;
That constant idle talk of which some are so fond, that utterance of falsehood which many practice, that also must be put away.
