1:13 Do not bring any more meaningless
I consider your incense detestable!
You observe new moon festivals, Sabbaths, and convocations,
but I cannot tolerate sin-stained celebrations!
30:8 Now go, write it
inscribe it on a scroll,
so that it might be preserved for a future time
as an enduring witness.
32:20 you will be blessed,
you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams,
you who let your ox and donkey graze.
43:13 From this day forward I am he;
no one can deliver from my power;
I will act, and who can prevent it?”
46:3 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,
all you who are left from the family of Israel,
you who have been carried from birth,
you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.
47:15 They will disappoint you,
those you have so faithfully dealt with since your youth.
Each strays off in his own direction,
leaving no one to rescue you.”
54:6 “Indeed, the Lord will call you back
like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression,
like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.
58:4 Look, your fasting is accompanied by
and fistfights.
Do not fast as you do today,
trying to make your voice heard in heaven.
64:4 Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who intervenes for those who wait for him.
