Isaiah 58:6
_ _ loose ... bands of wickedness — that is, to dissolve every tie wherewith one has unjustly bound his fellow men (Leviticus 25:49, etc.). Servitude, a fraudulent contract, etc.
_ _ undo ... heavy burdens — Hebrew, “loose the bands of the yoke.”
_ _ oppressed — literally, “the broken.” The expression, “to let go free,” implies that those “broken” with the yoke of slavery, are meant (Nehemiah 5:10-12; Jeremiah 34:9-11, Jeremiah 34:14, Jeremiah 34:16). Jerome interprets it, broken with poverty; bankrupt. |

Nehemiah 5:10-12 I likewise, [and] my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. ... Then said they, We will restore [them], and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
Jeremiah 34:8-11 [This is] the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them; ... But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Micah 3:2-4 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; ... Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
