the earth may no more oppress.

go free, and that ye break every
yoke?

Saying, The scribes and
the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever
they bid you observe, that observe
and do; but do not ye after their
works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men's shoulders;
but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.
(Matthew 23:2-4)
