Isaiah 58

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 doeth righteousnessH6666, and hath not forsaken the ordinanceH4941 of their 1GodH430; they askH7592 of me the ordinancesH4941 of righteousnessH6666, they take delightH2654 in approaching to 2GodH430: 3— Wherefore have we fastedH6684, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours. 4Behold, ye have fastedH6684 for strifeH7379 and debate, and to smite with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562; ye do not at present fastH6684, to causeH7379 your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 on highH4791. 5Is such the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977, a dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031 his soulH5315, — that he should bow downH3721 his headH7218 as a bulrushH100, and spreadH3331 sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 [under him]? Wilt thou callH7121 this a fastH6685, and a dayH3117 acceptable to Jehovah? 6Is not this the fastH6685 which I have chosenH977: to loose the bands of wickednessH7562, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to sendH7971 forthH7971 freeH2670 the crushedH7533, and that ye break every yoke? 7Is it not to deal thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 to thy houseH1004 the needy wanderers; when thou seest the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? 8ThenH227 shall thy lightH216 breakH1234 forth as the dawnH7837, and thy health shall springH6779 forth speedily; and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 before thee, the gloryH3519 of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard. 9ThenH227 shalt thou callH7121, and Jehovah will answerH6030; thou shalt cry, and he will sayH559, HereH2005 I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yoke, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676 and the unjust speech, 10and thou proffer thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflicted soulH5315: then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in the darknessH2822, and thine obscurity be as midday; 11and Jehovah will guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in drought, and strengthen thy bonesH6106; and thou shalt beH1961 like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a water-spring, whose watersH4325 deceive not. 12And they [that come] of thee shall buildH1129 the old wasteH2723 placesH2723: thou shalt raiseH6965 up the foundationsH4146 [that have remainedH3427] from generationH1755 to generationH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121, Repairer of the breachesH6556, restorer of frequented pathsH5410. 13If thou turnH7725 backH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, [from] doing thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117, and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH2656, the holyH6944 [dayH3117] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696 [idle] wordsH1697; 14thenH227 shalt thou delightH6026 thyself in Jehovah, and I will causeH7392 thee to rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, and feed thee with the heritage of JacobH3290 thy fatherH1: for the mouthH6310 of Jehovah hath spokenH1696.
