You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing.
Isaiah 42:20
"But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears. They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry."

________________ With Wide Open Hands
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
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?
Isaiah 58:6-7
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us —
yes, establish the work of our hands.

Take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
