Isaiah 58:5-7

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
