Cry
aloud,
spare
not, lift
up thy voice
like a trumpet,
and shew
my people
their transgression,
and the house
of Jacob
their sins.
Yet they seek
me daily,
and delight
to know
my ways,
as a nation
that did
righteousness,
and forsook
not the ordinance
of their God:
they ask
of me the ordinances
of justice;
they take delight
in approaching
to God.
Wherefore have we fasted,
say they, and thou seest
not? wherefore have we afflicted
our soul,
and thou takest no knowledge?
Behold, in the day
of your fast
ye find
pleasure,
and exact
all your labours.

Behold, ye fast
for strife
and debate,
and to smite
with the fist
of wickedness:
ye shall not fast
as ye do this day,
to make your voice
to be heard
on high.
Is it such a fast
that I have chosen?
a day
for a man
to afflict
his soul?
is it to bow down
his head
as a bulrush,
and to spread
sackcloth
and ashes
under him? wilt thou call
this
a fast,
and an acceptable
day
to the LORD?

κρίκον

Is not this the fast
that I have chosen?
to loose
the bands
of wickedness,
to undo
the heavy
burdens,
and to let the oppressed
go
free,
and that ye break
every yoke?

Is it not to deal
thy bread
to the hungry,
and that thou bring
the poor
that are cast out
to thy house?
when thou seest
the naked,
that thou cover
him; and that thou hide
not thyself from thine own flesh?

Then shall thy light
break forth

and thine health

and thy righteousness

thee; the glory

shall be thy rereward.

Then shalt thou call,
and the LORD
shall answer;
thou shalt cry,
and he shall say,
Here I am. If thou take away
from the midst
of thee the yoke,

of the finger,
and speaking

And if thou draw out
thy soul
to the hungry,
and satisfy
the afflicted
soul;
then shall thy light
rise

and thy darkness
be as the noonday:

And the LORD
shall guide
thee continually,
and satisfy
thy soul
in drought,
and make fat
thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered
garden,
and like a spring
of water,
whose waters
fail
not.

And they that shall be of thee shall build

thou shalt raise up

and thou shalt be called,
The repairer
of the breach,
The restorer
of paths
to dwell in.

If thou turn away
thy foot
from the sabbath,
from doing
thy pleasure
on my holy
day;
and call
the sabbath
a delight,
the holy
of the LORD,
honourable;
and shalt honour
him, not doing
thine own ways,
nor finding
thine own pleasure,
nor speaking
thine own words:

Then shalt thou delight
thyself in the LORD;
and I will cause thee to ride
upon the high places
of the earth,
and feed
thee with the heritage
of Jacob
thy father:
for the mouth
of the LORD
hath spoken
it.
