“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. relieve: or, righten”
Isaiah 1:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 1:17
True religion manifests in justice ('mishpat'), relief of the oppressed, and advocacy for the vulnerable—orphan and widow. The imperatives 'learn to do well' and 'seek judgment' reveal that righteousness is cultivated, not instinctive, requiring deliberate pursuit of God's moral order. This social ethic flows from covenant love (hesed) and anticipates Jesus' summary of the law as love for God and neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40). Reformed theology affirms good works as the fruit, not root, of justification.
