Isaiah 58:3-14
3‘WhyH4100 have we 1fastedH6684 and You do not seeH7200? Why have we humbledH6031 ourselvesH5315 and You do not 2noticeH3045?’ BeholdH2005, on the 3dayH3117 of your fastH6685 you findH4672 your desireH2656, And driveH5065 hardH5065 allH3605 your workersH6092.4BeholdH2005, you fastH6684 for contentionH7379 and 4strifeH4683 and to strikeH5221 with a wickedH7562 fistH106. You do not fastH6684 like you do todayH3117 to 5makeH8085 your voiceH6963 heardH8085 on highH4791.5Is it a fastH6685 like thisH2088 which I chooseH977, a dayH3117 for a manH120 to humbleH6031 himselfH5315? Is it for bowingH3721 6one’s headH7218 like a reedH100 And for spreadingH3331 out 7sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 as a bed? Will you callH7121 thisH2088 a fastH6685, even an 8acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LordH3068?6Is thisH2088 not the fastH6685 which I chooseH977, To 9loosenH6605 the bondsH2784 of wickednessH7562, To undoH5425 the bandsH92 of the yokeH4133, And to 10letH7971 the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670 And 11breakH5423 everyH3605 yokeH4133?7Is it not to 12divideH6536 your breadH3899 13with the hungryH7457 And 14bringH935 the homelessH4788 poorH6041 into the houseH1004; WhenH3588 you seeH7200 the 15nakedH6174, to coverH3680 him; And not to 16hideH5956 yourself from your own fleshH1320?8ThenH227 your 17lightH216 will breakH1234 out like the dawnH7837, And your 18recoveryH724 will speedilyH4120 springH6779 forthH6779; And your 19righteousnessH6664 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you; The gloryH3519 of the 20LordH3068 will be your rearH622 guardH622.9ThenH227 you will 21callH7121, and the LordH3068 will answerH6030; You will cryH7768, and He will sayH559, ‘HereH2009 I am.’ IfH518 you 22removeH5493 the yokeH4133 from your midstH8432, The 2324pointingH7971 of the fingerH676 and 25speakingH1696 wickednessH205,10And if you 2627giveH6329 yourselfH5315 to the hungryH7457 And satisfyH7646 the 28desireH5315 of the afflictedH6031, Then your 29lightH216 will riseH2224 in darknessH2822 And your gloomH653 will become like middayH6672.11And the 30LordH3068 will continuallyH8548 guideH5148 you, And 31satisfyH7646 your 32desireH5315 in scorchedH6710 placesH6710, And 33giveH2502 strengthH2502 to your bonesH6106; And you will be like a 34wateredH7302 gardenH1588, And like a 35springH4161 of waterH4325 whoseH834 watersH4325 do not 36failH3576.12Those from among you will 37rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723; You will 38raiseH6965 up the age-oldH1755 foundationsH4144; And you will be calledH7121 the repairerH1443 of the 39breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of the 40streetsH5410 in which to dwellH3427.
13“IfH518 becauseH4480 of the sabbathH7676, you 41turnH7725 your footH7272 From doingH6213 your own pleasureH2656 on My holyH6944 dayH3117, And callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a 42delightH6027, the holyH6918 day of the LordH3068 honorableH3513, And honorH3513 it, desistingH6213 from your 43own waysH1870, From seekingH4672 your own pleasureH2656 And 44speakingH1696 your own wordH1697,14ThenH227 you will takeH6026 45delightH6026 in the LordH3068, And I will make you rideH7392 46on the heightsH1116 of the earthH776; And I will feedH398 you with the heritageH5159 of JacobH3290 your fatherH1, For the 47mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”
