Isaiah 58:3-8

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.
