From the Prophets

That worship and prayer are vanity unless they purify themselves from evils, and what they are when purified (Isaiah 1:11-20).

Is not this the fast? to loose the bands of wickedness? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: thy justice shall go before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall gather thee. Thy light shall rise in darkness, and thy thick darkness be as noonday. Jehovah shall lead thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, so that thou shalt be as a watered garden, and as a spring of waters. And thou shalt delight thyself in Jehovah (Isaiah 58:6, 10-11, 14).
