"Learn to do good: seek the right"
Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah (1, 10.16-20)
Hear the word of the Lord, you who are like the rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah! Wash yourselves, purify yourselves, remove your evil deeds from my sight, stop doing evil. Learn to do good: seek right, bring the oppressor to heel, do justice to the orphan, defend the cause of the widow.
Come, and let's discuss - says the Lord. If your sins are like scarlet, they will turn as white as snow. If they are red like vermilion, they will turn like wool. If you consent to obey me, the good things of the country, you will eat them; but if you refuse, if you persist, the sword will eat you up.
- Yes, the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Word of the Lord.
