Isaiah 58
Revised Version 1895
1CryH7121 aloudH7311, spareH2820 notH408, liftH7311 upH7311 thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and declareH5046 unto my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403. 2Yet they seekH1875 meH7592 dailyH3117, and delightH2654 to knowH1847 my waysH1870: as a nationH1471 that didH6213 righteousnessH6666 and forsook notH3808 the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430, they askH7592 of meH7592 righteousH6664 ordinancesH4941, they delightH2654 to draw nearH3808 unto GodH430. 3Wherefore have weH3117 fastedH6684, say they, and thou seest notH3808? wherefore have weH3117 afflicted our soulH5315, and thou takest noH3808 knowledgeH3045? BeholdH2005, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 your ownH5315 pleasureH2656, and exactH5065 allH3605 your labours. 4BeholdH2005, ye fastH6684 for strifeH7379 and contentionH7379, and to smiteH5221 with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562: ye fastH6684 notH3808 this dayH3117 soH3808 as to makeH8085 your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 on highH4791. 5Is suchH2088 the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? the dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031 his soulH5315? Is it to bowH3721 downH3721 his headH7218 as a rush, and to spreadH3331 sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 under him? wilt thou callH7121 this a fastH6685, and an acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LORDH3068? 6Is notH3808 this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH7971 the bondsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undo the bandsH92 of the yokeH4133, and to letH7971 the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 everyH3605 yokeH4133? 7Is it notH3808 to deal thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH7200 to thy houseH1004? when thou seest the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 notH3808 thyself from thine own fleshH1320? 8Then shall thy lightH216 breakH1234 forthH6779 as the morningH7837, and thy healing shall springH6779 forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rearward. 9Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7121, and he shall sayH559, HereH2005 I am. IfH518 thou takeH5493 awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the puttingH7971 forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 wickedlyH205; 10and if thou draw out thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflicted soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in darknessH2822, and thine obscurityH2822 be as the noonday: 11and the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in dry placesH4161, and make strong thy bonesH6106; and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whoseH834 watersH4325 failH3576 notH3808. 12And they that shall be of thee shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 wasteH2723 placesH2723: thou shalt raiseH6965 upH6965 the foundationsH4146 of manyH1755 generationsH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121 The repairerH1443 of the breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of pathsH5410 to dwellH3427 in. 13IfH518 thou turnH7725 awayH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213 thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH2656, and the holyH6944 of the LORDH3068 honourable; and shalt honour it, notH518 doingH6213 thine own waysH1870, norH518 findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, norH518 speakingH1696 thine own wordsH1697: 14then shalt thou delightH6026 thyself in the LORDH3068; and I will makeH3588 thee to rideH7392 uponH5921 the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776; and I will feedH398 thee with the heritageH5159 of JacobH3290 thy fatherH1: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
