Isaiah 58:3-7
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 oppressH5065 allH3605 your workersH6092.4BeholdH2005, you fastH6684 for contentionH7379 and 4strifeH4683, and to strikeH5221 with a wickedH7562 fistH106. You do not fastH6684 like you have done todayH3117 to 5makeH8085 your voiceH6963 heardH8085 on highH4791!5Is it a fastH6685 like thisH2088 that I chooseH977, a dayH3117 for a personH120 to humbleH6031 himselfH5315? Is it for bowingH3721 6one’s headH7218 like a reedH100 And for spreadingH3331 outH3331 7sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 asH3331 aH3331 bedH3331? Will you callH7121 thisH2088 a fastH6685, even an 8acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LordH3068?6Is thisH2088 not the fastH6685 that I chooseH977: To 9releaseH6605 the bondsH2784 of wickednessH7562, To undoH5425 the ropesH92 of the yokeH4133, And to 10letH7971 the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, And 11breakH5423 everyH3605 yokeH4133?7Is it not to 12breakH6536 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?
