Psalms 50:15-21

15 and ^dcall upon me in the day of trouble;
I will ^edeliver you, and you shall ^fglorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 ^gFor you hate discipline,
^hand you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, ⁱyou are pleased with him,
^jand you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
^kand your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I ^lhave been silent;
you thought that I ^{▼▼Or that the I am} was one like yourself.
But now I ⁿrebuke you and ^olay the charge before you.

Proverbs 1:28-29

28 ^pThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they ^qhated knowledge
and ^rdid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Proverbs 21:13

Isaiah 1:15

15 When you ^uspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^veven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
^wyour hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 58:6-10

6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
^xto loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps ^yof the yoke,
to let the oppressed ^{▼▼Or bruised} go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not ^aato share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^aband not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 ^acThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
^adand your healing shall spring up speedily;
^aeyour righteousness shall go before you;
^afthe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away ^agthe yoke from your midst,
^ahthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 ^aiif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^ajthen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
