[1]CryH7121[H8798] aloudH1627, spareH2820[H8799] not, liftH7311[H8685] up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and shewH5046[H8685] my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403.
[2]Yet they seekH1875[H8799] me dailyH3117[H3117], and delightH2654[H8799] to knowH1847 my waysH1870, as a nationH1471 that didH6213[H8804] righteousnessH6666, and forsookH5800[H8804] not the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430: they askH7592[H8799] of me the ordinancesH4941 of justiceH6664; they take delightH2654[H8799] in approachingH7132 to GodH430.
[3]Wherefore have we fastedH6684[H8804], say they, and thou seestH7200[H8804] not? wherefore have we afflictedH6031[H8765] our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledgeH3045[H8799]? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672[H8799] pleasureH2656, and exactH5065[H8799] all your laboursH6092.
[4]Behold, ye fastH6684[H8799] for strifeH7379 and debateH4683, and to smiteH5221[H8687] with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562: ye shall not fastH6684[H8799] as ye do this dayH3117, to make your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085[H8687] on highH4791.
[5]Is it such a fastH6685 that I have chosenH977[H8799]? a dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031[H8763] his soulH5315? is it to bow downH3721[H8800] his headH7218 as a bulrushH100, and to spreadH3331[H8686] sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 under him? wilt thou callH7121[H8799] thisH2088 a fastH6685, and an acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LORDH3068?
[6]Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977[H8799]? to looseH6605[H8763] the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425[H8687] the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533[H8803] goH7971[H8763] freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423[H8762] every yokeH4133?
[7]Is it not to dealH6536[H8800] thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935[H8686] the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200[H8799] the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680[H8765] him; and that thou hideH5956[H8691] not thyself from thine own fleshH1320?
[8]Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234[H8735] as the morningH7837, and thine healthH724 shall spring forthH6779[H8799] speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980[H8804] beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rerewardH622.[H8799]
[9]Then shalt thou callH7121[H8799], and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030[H8799]; thou shalt cryH7768[H8762], and he shall sayH559[H8799], Here I am. If thou take awayH5493[H8686] from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971[H8800] of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696[H8763] vanityH205;
[10]And if thou draw outH6329[H8686] thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646[H8686] the afflictedH6031[H8737] soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224[H8804] in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672:
[11]And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148[H8804] thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646[H8689] thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502[H8686] thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 notH8762.
[12]And they that shall be of thee shall buildH1129[H8804] the oldH5769 waste placesH2723: thou shalt raise upH6965[H8787] the foundationsH4146 of manyH1755 generationsH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121[H8795], The repairerH1443[H8802] of the breachH6556, The restorerH7725[H8789] of pathsH5410 to dwell inH3427.[H8800]
[13]If thou turn awayH7725[H8686] thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213[H8800] thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121[H8804] the sabbathH7676 a delightH6027, the holyH6918 of the LORDH3068, honourableH3513[H8794]; and shalt honourH3513[H8765] him, not doingH6213[H8800] thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672[H8800] thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696[H8763] thine own wordsH1697:
[14]Then shalt thou delightH6026[H8691] thyself in the LORDH3068; and I will cause thee to rideH7392[H8689] upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776, and feedH398[H8689] thee with the heritageH5159 of JacobH3290 thy fatherH1: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 itH8765.
