Isaiah 58:5-12

5Is it a fastH6685 like thisH2088 which I chooseH977, a dayH3117 for a manH120 to humbleH6031 himselfH5315? Is it for bowingH3721 1one’s headH7218 like a reedH100 And for spreadingH3331 out 2sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 as a bed? Will you callH7121 thisH2088 a fastH6685, even an 3acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LordH3068?6Is thisH2088 not the fastH6685 which I chooseH977, To 4loosenH6605 the bondsH2784 of wickednessH7562, To undoH5425 the bandsH92 of the yokeH4133, And to 5letH7971 the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670 And 6breakH5423 everyH3605 yokeH4133?7Is it not to 7divideH6536 your breadH3899 8with the hungryH7457 And 9bringH935 the homelessH4788 poorH6041 into the houseH1004; WhenH3588 you seeH7200 the 10nakedH6174, to coverH3680 him; And not to 11hideH5956 yourself from your own fleshH1320?8ThenH227 your 12lightH216 will breakH1234 out like the dawnH7837, And your 13recoveryH724 will speedilyH4120 springH6779 forthH6779; And your 14righteousnessH6664 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you; The gloryH3519 of the 15LordH3068 will be your rearH622 guardH622.9ThenH227 you will 16callH7121, and the LordH3068 will answerH6030; You will cryH7768, and He will sayH559, ‘HereH2009 I am.’ IfH518 you 17removeH5493 the yokeH4133 from your midstH8432, The 1819pointingH7971 of the fingerH676 and 20speakingH1696 wickednessH205,10And if you 2122giveH6329 yourselfH5315 to the hungryH7457 And satisfyH7646 the 23desireH5315 of the afflictedH6031, Then your 24lightH216 will riseH2224 in darknessH2822 And your gloomH653 will become like middayH6672.11And the 25LordH3068 will continuallyH8548 guideH5148 you, And 26satisfyH7646 your 27desireH5315 in scorchedH6710 placesH6710, And 28giveH2502 strengthH2502 to your bonesH6106; And you will be like a 29wateredH7302 gardenH1588, And like a 30springH4161 of waterH4325 whoseH834 watersH4325 do not 31failH3576.12Those from among you will 32rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723; You will 33raiseH6965 up the age-oldH1755 foundationsH4144; And you will be calledH7121 the repairerH1443 of the 34breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of the 35streetsH5410 in which to dwellH3427.
