Cry{H7121} aloud,{H1627} spare{H2820} not, lift{H7311} up thy voice{H6963} like a trumpet,{H7782} and declare{H5046} unto my people{H5971} their transgression,{H6588} and to the house{H1004} of Jacob{H3290} their sins.{H2403}

Yet they seek{H1875} me daily,{H3117} and delight{H2654} to know{H1847} my ways:{H1870} as a nation{H1471} that did{H6213} righteousness,{H6666} and forsook{H5800} not the ordinance{H4941} of their God,{H430} they ask{H7592} of me righteous{H4941} judgments;{H6664} they delight{H2654} to draw near{H7132} unto God.{H430}

Wherefore have we fasted,{H6684} [say they], and thou seest{H7200} not? [wherefore] have we afflicted{H6031} our soul,{H5315} and thou takest no knowledge?{H3045} Behold, in the day{H3117} of your fast{H6685} ye find{H4672} [your own] pleasure,{H2656} and exact{H5065} all your labors.{H6092}

Behold, ye fast{H6684} for strife{H7379} and contention,{H7379} and to smite{H5221} with the fist{H106} of wickedness:{H7562} ye fast{H6684} not this day{H3117} so as to make your voice{H6963} to be heard{H8085} on high.{H4791}

Is such the fast{H6685} that I have chosen?{H977} the day{H3117} for a man{H120} to afflict{H6031} his soul?{H5315} Is it to bow down{H3721} his head{H7218} as a rush,{H100} and to spread{H3331} sackcloth{H8242} and ashes{H665} under him? wilt thou call{H7121} this{H2088} a fast,{H6685} and an acceptable{H7522} day{H3117} to Jehovah?{H3068}

Is not this the fast{H6685} that I have chosen:{H977} to loose{H6605} the bonds{H2784} of wickedness,{H7562} to undo{H5425} the bands{H92} of the yoke,{H4133} and to let the oppressed{H7533} go{H7971} free,{H2670} and that ye break{H5423} every yoke?{H4133}

Is it not to deal{H6536} thy bread{H3899} to the hungry,{H7457} and that thou bring{H935} the poor{H6041} that are cast out{H4788} to thy house?{H1004} when thou seest{H7200} the naked,{H6174} that thou cover{H3680} him; and that thou hide{H5956} not thyself from thine own flesh?{H1320}

Then shall thy light{H216} break forth{H1234} as the morning,{H7837} and thy healing{H724} shall spring forth{H6779} speedily;{H4120} and thy righteousness{H6664} shall go{H1980} before{H6440} thee; the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} shall by thy rearward.{H622}

Then shalt thou call,{H7121} and Jehovah{H3068} will answer;{H6030} thou shalt cry,{H7768} and he will say,{H559} Here I am. If thou take away{H5493} from the midst{H8432} of thee the yoke,{H4133} the putting forth{H7971} of the finger,{H676} and speaking{H1696} wickedly;{H205}

and if thou draw out{H6329} thy soul{H5315} to the hungry,{H7457} and satisfy{H7646} the afflicted{H6031} soul:{H5315} then shall thy light{H216} rise{H2224} in darkness,{H653} and thine obscurity{H2822} be as the noonday;{H6672}

and Jehovah{H3068} will guide{H5148} thee continually,{H8548} and satisfy{H7646} thy soul{H5315} in dry{H6710} places, and make strong{H2502} thy bones;{H6106} and thou shalt be like a watered{H7302} garden,{H1588} and like a spring{H4161} of water,{H4325} whose waters{H4325} fail{H3576} not.

And they that shall be of thee shall build{H1129} the old{H5769} waste places;{H2723} thou shalt raise up{H6965} the foundations{H4146} of many{H1755} generations;{H1755} and thou shalt be called{H7121} The repairer{H1443} of the breach,{H6556} The restorer{H7725} of paths{H5410} to dwell in.{H3427}

If thou turn away{H7725} thy foot{H7272} from the sabbath,{H7676} from doing{H6213} thy pleasure{H2656} on my holy{H6944} day;{H3117} and call{H7121} the sabbath{H7676} a delight,{H6027} [and] the holy{H6918} of Jehovah{H3068} honorable;{H3513} and shalt honor{H3513} it, not doing{H6213} thine own ways,{H1870} nor finding{H4672} thine own pleasure,{H2656} nor speaking{H1696} [thine own] words:{H1697}

then shalt thou delight{H6026} thyself in Jehovah;{H3068} and I will make thee to ride{H7392} upon the high places{H1116} of the earth;{H776} and I will feed{H398} thee with the heritage{H5159} of Jacob{H3290} thy father:{H1} for the mouth{H6310} of Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken{H1696} it.
