Isaiah 58:6-8
''…enlarge my territory..'' (I Chronicles 4:10b)
''Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

Then you shall call and the Lord will anser, you shall cry and He will say, here I am.''
