βFrom the day that your fathers came out of the land of Matsriym until this day, I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
βBut they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did evil, more than their fathers.
βAnd you shall speak all these words to them, though they do not listen to you. And you shall also call to them, though they do not answer you.

if he does not oppress anyone, does return to the debtor his pledge, does not commit robbery, does give his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with a garment,
if he does not lend on interest or take increase, turns back his hand from unrighteousness, executes right-ruling in truth between man and man,
if he walks in My laws, and he has guarded My right-rulings in truth β he is righteous, he shall certainly live!β declares the Master π€π€π€ π€.
