Cease to do evil:

Learn to do well;

Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed;

Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”[537]

And with this very warning against a false reliance on the symbols themselves, the same prophet gives assurance of better things in store for all those who are in true blood-covenant with God; even though they be not of the peculiar people of Abraham’s natural descent. Foretelling the future, when the types of the sacrifice shall be realized, he says:

“And in this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make unto all peoples

A feast of fat things,

A feast of wine on the lees;

Of fat things full of marrow,

Of wines on the lees well refined.”[538]
