Isaiah 58:5-12
5Is it such a fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? a dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031 his soulH5315? is it to bow downH3721 his headH7218 as a bulrushH100, and to spreadH3331 sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 under him ? wilt thou callH7121 thisH2088 a fastH6685, and an acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LORDH3068?1 6Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133?23 7Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou shouldest bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou shouldest coverH3680 him; and that thou shouldest not hideH5956 thyself from thy own fleshH1320?4
8Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234 as the morningH7837, and thy healthH724 shall spring forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rear guardH622.5 9Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am . If thou shalt take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205; 10And if thou shalt draw outH6329 thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflictedH6031 soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672: 11And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502 thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 not.67 12And they that shall be of thee shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 waste placesH2723: thou shalt raise upH6965 the foundationsH4146 of manyH1755 generationsH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121, The repairerH1443 of the breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of pathsH5410 to dwell inH3427.
