My favorite use of it is in this passage from Isaiah:

[Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke?  [Is it] not to deal thy bread to
the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy
house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou
hide not thyself from thine own flesh?  Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning [shahar], and thine health shall spring forth
speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the
LORD shall be thy rearguard.
