1 # 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>.
2 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>.
3 # 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>.
4 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>.
5 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>?
6 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>?
7 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>?
8 # 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).
9 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> ;
10 And if thou draw out <06329> (8686) thy soul <05315> to the hungry <07457>, and satisfy <07646> (8686) the afflicted <06031> (8737) soul <05315>; then shall thy light <0216> rise <02224> (8804) in obscurity <02822> , and thy darkness <0653> be as the noonday <06672>:
11 And the LORD <03068> shall guide <05148> (8804) thee continually <08548>, and satisfy <07646> (8689) thy soul <05315> in drought <06710>, and make fat <02502> (8686) thy bones <06106>: and thou shalt be like a watered <07302> garden <01588>, and like a spring <04161> of water <04325>, whose waters <04325> fail <03576> (8762) not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build <01129> (8804) the old <05769> waste places <02723>: thou shalt raise up <06965> (8787) the foundations <04146> of many <01755> generations <01755>; and thou shalt be called <07121> (8795) , The repairer <01443> (8802) of the breach <06556>, The restorer <07725> (8789) of paths <05410> to dwell in <03427> (8800).
13 # If thou turn away <07725> (8686) thy foot <07272> from the sabbath <07676>, from doing <06213> (8800) thy pleasure <02656> on my holy <06944> day <03117>; and call <07121> (8804) the sabbath <07676> a delight <06027>, the holy <06918> of the LORD <03068>, honourable <03513> (8794); and shalt honour <03513> (8765) him, not doing <06213> (8800) thine own ways <01870>, nor finding <04672> (8800) thine own pleasure <02656>, nor speaking <01696> (8763) thine own words <01697>:
14 Then shalt thou delight <06026> (8691) thyself in the LORD <03068>; and I will cause thee to ride <07392> (8689) upon the high places <01116> of the earth <0776>, and feed <0398> (8689) thee with the heritage <05159> of Jacob <03290> thy father <01>: for the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it.
