Isaiah 58:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast; Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God; They ask me to declare what is due them, pleased to gain access to God.
3 "Why do we fast, and you do not see it? afflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?" Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, and drive all your laborers.
4 Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, striking with wicked claw. Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high!
5 Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed, and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD?
6 This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke;
7 Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.
8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
10 If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday;
11 Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.
12 The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; "Repairer of the breach," they shall call you, "Restorer of ruined homesteads."
13 If you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; If you call the sabbath a delight, and the LORD'S holy day honorable; If you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice--
14 Then you shall delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
1 Cry H7121 VQI2MP aloud H1627 , spare H2820 not H408 NPAR , lift up H7311 thy voice H6963 CMS-2MS like a trumpet H7782 , and show H5046 my people H5971 their transgression H6588 , and the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 their sins H2403 .
2 Yet they seek H1875 me daily H3117 NMS , and delight H2654 to know H1847 W-VQFC my ways H1870 NMP-1MS , as a nation H1471 that H834 RPRO did H6213 VQQ3MS righteousness H6666 NFS , and forsook H5800 not H3808 NADV the ordinance H4941 W-CMS of their God H430 NAME-4MP : they ask H7592 of me the ordinances H4941 of justice H6664 NMS ; they take delight H2654 in approaching H7132 to God H430 EDP .
3 Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO have we fasted H6684 , say they , and thou seest H7200 VQQ2MS not H3808 W-NPAR ? wherefore have we afflicted H6031 our soul H5315 , and thou takest no knowledge H3045 VQY2MS ? Behold H2005 IJEC , in the day H3117 B-NMS of your fast H6685 ye find H4672 pleasure H2656 , and exact H5065 all H3605 W-CMS your labors H6092 .
4 Behold H2005 IJEC , ye fast H6684 for strife H7379 and debate H4683 , and to smite H5221 with the fist H106 of wickedness H7562 NMS : ye shall not H3808 NADV fast H6684 as ye do this day H3117 , to make your voice H6963 to be heard H8085 on high H4791 BD-NMS .
5 Is H1961 VQY3MS it such H2088 a fast H6685 NMS that I have chosen H977 ? a day H3117 NMS for a man H120 NMS to afflict H6031 his soul H5315 NMS-3MS ? is it to bow down H3721 his head H7218 CMS-3MS as a bulrush H100 , and to spread H3331 sackcloth H8242 and ashes H665 under him ? wilt thou call H7121 VQI2MS this H2088 a fast H6685 NMS , and an acceptable H7522 day H3117 NUM-MS to the LORD H3068 ?
6 Is not H3808 D-NPAR this H2088 DPRO the fast H6685 NMS that I have chosen H977 ? to loose H6605 the bands H2784 of wickedness H7562 NMS , to undo H5425 the heavy H4133 burdens H92 , and to let the oppressed H7533 go H7971 free H2670 , and that ye break H5423 every H3605 W-CMS yoke H4133 ?
7 Is it not H3808 ADV to deal H6536 thy bread H3899 to the hungry H7457 , and that thou bring H935 VHY2MS the poor H6041 that are cast out H4788 to thy house H1004 ? when H3588 CONJ thou seest H7200 VQY2MS the naked H6174 AMS , that thou cover H3680 him ; and that thou hide not thyself H5956 from thine own flesh H1320 ?
8 Then H227 ADV shall thy light H216 break forth H1234 as the morning H7837 , and thine health H724 shall spring forth H6779 speedily H4120 : and thy righteousness H6664 shall go H1980 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee ; the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 EDS shall be thy rearward H622 .
9 Then H227 ADV shalt thou call H7121 VQI2MS , and the LORD H3068 W-EDS shall answer H6030 VQY3MS ; thou shalt cry H7768 , and he shall say H559 , Here H2009 I am . If H518 PART thou take away H5493 from the midst H8432 of thee the yoke H4133 , the putting forth H7971 of the finger H676 , and speaking H1696 vanity H205 NMS ;
10 And if thou draw out H6329 thy soul H5315 W-GFS to the hungry H7457 , and satisfy H7646 the afflicted H6031 soul H5315 W-GFS ; then shall thy light H216 rise H2224 in obscurity H2822 BD-NMS , and thy darkness H653 be as the noonday H6672 :
11 And the LORD H3068 EDS shall guide H5148 thee continually H8548 , and satisfy H7646 thy soul H5315 in drought H6710 , and make fat H2502 thy bones H6106 : and thou shalt be H1961 W-VQQ2MS like a watered H7302 garden H1588 K-CMS , and like a spring H4161 of water H4325 OMD , whose H834 RPRO waters H4325 OMD fail H3576 not H3808 NADV .
12 And they that shall be of H4480 PREP-2MS thee shall build H1129 the old H5769 NMS waste places H2723 : thou shalt raise up H6965 the foundations H4146 of many generations H1755 ; and thou shalt be called H7121 , The repairer H1443 of the breach H6556 , The restorer H7725 of paths H5410 CFP to dwell H3427 in .
13 If H518 PART thou turn away H7725 thy foot H7272 from the sabbath H7676 , from doing H6213 VQFC thy pleasure H2656 on my holy H6944 day H3117 B-NMS ; and call H7121 the sabbath H7676 a delight H6027 , the holy H6918 of the LORD H3068 EDS , honorable H3513 ; and shalt honor H3513 him , not doing H6213 thine own ways H1870 CMP-2MS , nor finding H4672 thine own pleasure H2656 , nor speaking H1696 thine own words H1697 :
14 Then H227 ADV shalt thou delight thyself H6026 in H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS ; and I will cause thee to ride H7392 upon H5921 PREP the high places H1116 of the earth H776 NFS , and feed H398 thee with the heritage H5159 of Jacob H3290 thy father H1 NMS : for H3588 CONJ the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS hath spoken H1696 it .
