C- We do action like this :
Learn to do well; seek Judgement. Relieve the oppressed, judge the father Less; Plead for the widow. ISAIAH. 1:17
Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke; ?
Is not to deal thy bread to the hungry; and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house; When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him and that thou hide not thy self from thine own flesh! ?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedly: and thy righteousness shall go before thee: the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
Then shall thou call and the Lord answer: than shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity: And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul:
then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day; And God the Lord shall Guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought; and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered Garden, and like spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt rise up the foundations of many generations: and thou shalt be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.
If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day: and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable, and shalt honour him, not doing thin own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words;
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord: and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the lord hath spoken it. ISAIAH: 58:6-14
D- We Have to live like his followers:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that recieveth whomsoever I sent recieveth me: and he that receiveth me received me him that send me. (JOHN 14-20.)
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you, Greater Love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. Ye are my friends: if ye do what so ever I command you. (JOHN 15:12-14) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due: custom to whom custom: fear to whom fear: honor to whom honor.
Owe no man anything, but to Love one another: For he that Loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
For this, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou. Shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, sand if there be any commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this, saying namely, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: there fore Love is the fulfilling of the Law (Rama 13:7-10)
Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them .and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
But it shall not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister:
And whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant:
Even as the son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister; and to give his life a ransom of many.
(MATTHEW 20:25-28 )

The lord is my portion, saith my soul there fore will I hope him.
The lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him (LAMENTATION 3:24-28 )
Thus saith the Lord, keep ye Judgement, and do justice: For my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
But in all things approving our selves as the ministers of God, in such patience, in afflictions, in necessities in distresses.
In stripes, in imprisonments in tumults, in labours, in watching, in fastings; by pureness, by knowledge, by long sufferings, by kindness, by the holy Ghost, by love unfeigned;
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
By the honour and dishonour, by evil report and Good report : as deceivers, and yet true;
As unknown, and yet well know; as dying and behold, we live, as chastened, and not killed;
-As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing, as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. II CORINTHANS 6:3-10

And thy shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
Because thou servedst not lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thrist, and in nakedness; and in want of all things; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck; until he have destroyed thee.

A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young.
And ye shall eat the fruit of cattle and thy land until thou be destroyed. Which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, where in thou trustedst, out all they land; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates through out all thy land which the lord thy God hath give thee.
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the lord thy god hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee; So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil towards his brother and towards the wife of his bosom, and towards the rement of his children which he shall leave.
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shalt eat; because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
Thy tender and delicate women among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eyes shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and towards her son, and towards her daughter.
And towards her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and, straitness, where with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in the book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, the lord thy God:
Then the lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
More over he will bring upon thee all the deceases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and thy shall cleave unto thee.
Also every sickness, and every plague, is not written in the book of his law, them will the lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of the heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the lord thy God.
And it shall come to pass, that as the lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plunked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
And the lord shall scatter thee among all people; from the one end of the earth even unto the other, and there thou shalt serve other Gods; which neither thou nor thy father have known, even wood and stone.
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life.
In the morning thou shalt say, would God it wear even! And at even thou shalt say, would God it were morning! For the fear of thine heart where with thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
And the lord shall bring thee into Egypt against ships, by the way where of I spake into thee, thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 )
M- Way to overcome from his Punishment :
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy: break up your follow ground: for it is time to seek the lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruits of lies; because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. (Hosea 10:12-15)
Therefore also now, saith the lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping and with mourning:
And rend your heart, and not your garment, and turn unto the lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Who knoweth if he will return and repent and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the lord your God? (Joel2:12- 14)
The lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The lord is Good unto then that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the lord.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in the youth.
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
He giveth his cheek to him that smitheth him : he is filled full with reproach.
For the lord will not cast off for ever.
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of
his mercies.
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. (Lamentations 3.24-33)
If they shall Confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
And that I also have walked contrary unto them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity.
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Issac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the Land.
The land also shall be left of them and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity : because, even because they despised my judgements, and because their soul abhorred my statutes;(Leviticus 26:40-43)
