“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom^(A)
    or the strong boast of their strength^(B)
    or the rich boast of their riches,^(C)
24 but let the one who boasts boast^(D) about this:
    that they have the understanding to know^(E) me,
that I am the Lord,^(F) who exercises kindness,^(G)
    justice and righteousness^(H) on earth,
    for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.

⁶ He is the Maker of heaven^(A) and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful^(B) forever.
⁷ He upholds^(C) the cause of the oppressed^(D)
    and gives food to the hungry.^(E)
The Lord sets prisoners free,^(F)
8     the Lord gives sight^(G) to the blind,^(H)
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,^(I)
    the Lord loves the righteous.^(J)
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner^(K)
    and sustains the fatherless^(L) and the widow,^(M)
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

⁶ “Is not this the kind of fasting^(A) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice^(B)
    and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed^(C) free
    and break every yoke?^(D)
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry^(E)
    and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter^(F)—
when you see the naked, to clothe^(G) them,
    and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?^(H)
