God strongly rebukes Israel over their lack of care for the poor. They were very religious, but they were rebellious and disobedient to God's commands. God tells them to repent and change their ways by seeking justice, defending the oppressed, and taking up the cause of the fatherless.

In the NT Jesus says "Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it to me." (Matt 25:40)
