Isaiah 57:14-58:14<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the morning haftarah of the ultimate fast day and the holiest day of the year, God lambasts His people for their hypocrisy when fasting for Him. Such fasting is worthless unless their society actively promotes the welfare of its most vulnerable, with whom He primarily dwells. Indeed, greed and callousness were primary reasons for exiling His people. While God has mercy on His people, He will restore them spiritually and physically only when they feed their poor, clothe their naked, avoid treachery and deceit when transacting with others, and observe the Sabbath.<\/p>\n

The Talmud also powerfully utilizes the Haftarah and other sources to define God’s \u201chumility.\u201d Some recite this passage at the end of Shabbat as part of the verses of blessing known as \u201cVayiten Lecha.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Yo\u1e25anan said: \u201cWherever you find [reference in the Bible to] the might of the Holy One, Blessed be He, you also find [reference to] His humility. This fact is written in the Torah, repeated in the Prophets, and stated a third time in the Writings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is written in the Torah: \u2018For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords,\u2019, after which is written, \u2018He executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow\u2019 (Deuteronomy 10:17-18).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is repeated in the Prophets: \u2018For thus says the High and Lofty One that inhabits eternity, Whose name is sacred\u2026,\u2019 after which is written, \u2018[… He revives the spirit of] the lowly [and revives] the heart of the contrite ones\u2019 (Isaiah 57:15).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is stated a third time in the Writings, as is written: \u2018Extol Him Who rides upon the clouds, Whose name is the Lord,\u2019 after which is written, \u2018A father of the fatherless, and a judge of widows.\u2019 (Psalms 68:5-6)\u201d<\/td>\n
