W
ash you, make you clean, . . . Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.† Isaiah 1:16-20 ( JPS Tanakh (1917) ) ‘And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise — for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry . . . ’
