Listen to me. Return the prisoners you have captured from your relatives, because Jehovah is very angry with you.

For judgment is without mercy to him who shows no mercy. And mercy triumphs over judgment.

The Israelites captured two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls from their relatives the Judeans. They also took a lot of goods from Judah and brought them to Samaria.

So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people. Let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

Is this not the fast I choose to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke?

Every seven years each of you must free any Hebrews who sold themselves to you. When they have served you for six years, you must set them free. But your ancestors refused to obey me or listen to me.

Blessed are the merciful and compassionate, for they will receive mercy and compassion.

As you judge, so you will be judged. As you measure, it will be measured to you.

You should continue to love one another as brothers.
