Isaiah 58:1-4

1Cry aloud, spare not, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and declareH5046 unto my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403.

2Yet they seekH1875 me daily, and delightH2654 to know my waysH1870: as a nationH1471 that did righteousnessH6666, and forsook not the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430, they askH7592 of me righteous judgmentsH4941; they delightH2654 to draw near unto GodH430.

3Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 your ownH5315 pleasureH2656, and exact all your labors.

4Behold, ye fastH6684 for strifeH7379 and contention, and to smite with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562: ye fastH6684 not this dayH3117 so as to makeH8085 your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 on highH4791.
