Isaiah 58:1-9

Cry
<07121> (8798)

aloud
<01627>_,

spare
<02820> (8799)

not, lift
<07311> (8685)

up thy voice
<06963>

like a trumpet
<07782>_,

and shew
<05046> (8685)

my people
<05971>

their transgression
<06588>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>

their sins
<02403>_.

{aloud: Heb. with the throat}

Yet they seek
<01875> (8799)

me daily
<03117> <03117>_,

and delight
<02654> (8799)

to know
<01847>

my ways
<01870>_,

as a nation
<01471>

that did
<06213> (8804)

righteousness
<06666>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8804)

not the ordinance
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_:

they ask
<07592> (8799)

of me the ordinances
<04941>

of justice
<06664>_;

they take delight
<02654> (8799)

in approaching
<07132>

to God
<0430>_.

Wherefore have we fasted
<06684> (8804)_,

[say they], and thou seest
<07200> (8804)

not? [wherefore] have we afflicted
<06031> (8765)

our soul
<05315>_,

and thou takest no knowledge
<03045> (8799)_?

Behold, in the day
<03117>

of your fast
<06685>

ye find
<04672> (8799)

pleasure
<02656>_,

and exact
<05065> (8799)

all your labours
<06092>_.

{labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}

Behold, ye fast
<06684> (8799)

for strife
<07379>

and debate
<04683>_,

and to smite
<05221> (8687)

with the fist
<0106>

of wickedness
<07562>_:

ye shall not fast
<06684> (8799)

as [ye do this] day
<03117>_,

to make your voice
<06963>

to be heard
<08085> (8687)

on high
<04791>_.

{ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day}

Is it such a fast
<06685>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?

a day
<03117>

for a man
<0120>

to afflict
<06031> (8763)

his soul
<05315>_?

[is it] to bow down
<03721> (8800)

his head
<07218>

as a bulrush
<0100>_,

and to spread
<03331> (8686)

sackcloth
<08242>

and ashes
<0665>

[under him]? wilt thou call
<07121> (8799)

this
<02088>

a fast
<06685>_,

and an acceptable
<07522>

day
<03117>

to the LORD
<03068>_?

{a day...: or, to afflict his soul for a day?}

[Is] not this the fast
<06685>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?

to loose
<06605> (8763)

the bands
<02784>

of wickedness
<07562>_,

to undo
<05425> (8687)

the heavy
<04133>

burdens
<092>_,

and to let the oppressed
<07533> (8803)

go
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>_,

and that ye break
<05423> (8762)

every yoke
<04133>_?

{the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}

[Is it] not to deal
<06536> (8800)

thy bread
<03899>

to the hungry
<07457>_,

and that thou bring
<0935> (8686)

the poor
<06041>

that are cast out
<04788>

to thy house
<01004>_?

when thou seest
<07200> (8799)

the naked
<06174>_,

that thou cover
<03680> (8765)

him; and that thou hide
<05956> (8691)

not thyself from thine own flesh
<01320>_?

{cast...: or, afflicted}

Then shall thy light
<0216>

break forth
<01234> (8735)

as the morning
<07837>_,

and thine health
<0724>

shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)

speedily
<04120>_:

and thy righteousness
<06664>

shall go
<01980> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee; the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be thy rereward
<0622> (8799)_.

{be...: Heb. gather thee up}

Then shalt thou call
<07121> (8799)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

shall answer
<06030> (8799)_;

thou shalt cry
<07768> (8762)_,

and he shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Here I [am]. If thou take away
<05493> (8686)

from the midst
<08432>

of thee the yoke
<04133>_,

the putting forth
<07971> (8800)

of the finger
<0676>_,

and speaking
<01696> (8763)

vanity
<0205>_;
