  1. NAB's Irreducible Core

  2. Introduction Isaiah 58:1-3 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion      and to the house of Jacob their sins. For day after day they seek me out;      they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right      and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions      and seem eager for God to come near them. 'Why have we fasted,' they say,      'and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves,      and you have not noticed?' "Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please      and exploit all your workers.
