Isaiah 58 (WEBP)

[1] “Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
[2] Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.
[3] ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.
[4] Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
[5] Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?
[6] “Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
[7] Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
[8] Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.
[9] Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
[10] and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
[11] and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.
[12] Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
[13] “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
[14] then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

Isaiah 58 (KJVS)

[1] Cry H7121 (8798) aloud H1627, spare H2820 (8799) not, lift H7311 (8685) up thy voice H6963 like a trumpet H7782, and shew H5046 (8685) my people H5971 their transgression H6588, and the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 their sins H2403.
[2] Yet they seek H1875 (8799) me daily H3117 H3117, and delight H2654 (8799) to know H1847 my ways H1870, as a nation H1471 that did H6213 (8804) righteousness H6666, and forsook H5800 (8804) not the ordinance H4941 of their God H430: they ask H7592 (8799) of me the ordinances H4941 of justice H6664; they take delight H2654 (8799) in approaching H7132 to God H430.
[3] Wherefore have we fasted H6684 (8804), [say they], and thou seest H7200 (8804) not? [wherefore] have we afflicted H6031 (8765) our soul H5315, and thou takest no knowledge H3045 (8799)? Behold, in the day H3117 of your fast H6685 ye find H4672 (8799) pleasure H2656, and exact H5065 (8799) all your labours H6092.
[4] Behold, ye fast H6684 (8799) for strife H7379 and debate H4683, and to smite H5221 (8687) with the fist H106 of wickedness H7562: ye shall not fast H6684 (8799) as [ye do this] day H3117, to make your voice H6963 to be heard H8085 (8687) on high H4791.
[5] Is it such a fast H6685 that I have chosen H977 (8799)? a day H3117 for a man H120 to afflict H6031 (8763) his soul H5315? [is it] to bow down H3721 (8800) his head H7218 as a bulrush H100, and to spread H3331 (8686) sackcloth H8242 and ashes H665 [under him]? wilt thou call H7121 (8799) this H2088 a fast H6685, and an acceptable H7522 day H3117 to the LORD H3068?
[6] [Is] not this the fast H6685 that I have chosen H977 (8799)? to loose H6605 (8763) the bands H2784 of wickedness H7562, to undo H5425 (8687) the heavy H4133 burdens H92, and to let the oppressed H7533 (8803) go H7971 (8763) free H2670, and that ye break H5423 (8762) every yoke H4133?
[7] [Is it] not to deal H6536 (8800) thy bread H3899 to the hungry H7457, and that thou bring H935 (8686) the poor H6041 that are cast out H4788 to thy house H1004? when thou seest H7200 (8799) the naked H6174, that thou cover H3680 (8765) him; and that thou hide H5956 (8691) not thyself from thine own flesh H1320?
[8] Then shall thy light H216 break forth H1234 (8735) as the morning H7837, and thine health H724 shall spring forth H6779 (8799) speedily H4120: and thy righteousness H6664 shall go H1980 (8804) before H6440 thee; the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 shall be thy rereward H622 (8799).
[9] Then shalt thou call H7121 (8799), and the LORD H3068 shall answer H6030 (8799); thou shalt cry H7768 (8762), and he shall say H559 (8799), Here I [am]. If thou take away H5493 (8686) from the midst H8432 of thee the yoke H4133, the putting forth H7971 (8800) of the finger H676, and speaking H1696 (8763) vanity H205;
[10] And [if] thou draw out H6329 (8686) thy soul H5315 to the hungry H7457, and satisfy H7646 (8686) the afflicted H6031 (8737) soul H5315; then shall thy light H216 rise H2224 (8804) in obscurity H2822, and thy darkness H653 [be] as the noonday H6672:
[11] And the LORD H3068 shall guide H5148 (8804) thee continually H8548, and satisfy H7646 (8689) thy soul H5315 in drought H6710, and make fat H2502 (8686) 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 (8762) not.
[12] And [they that shall be] of thee shall build H1129 (8804) the old H5769 waste places H2723: thou shalt raise up H6965 (8787) the foundations H4146 of many H1755 generations H1755; and thou shalt be called H7121 (8795), The repairer H1443 (8802) of the breach H6556, The restorer H7725 (8789) of paths H5410 to dwell in H3427 (8800).
[13] If thou turn away H7725 (8686) thy foot H7272 from the sabbath H7676, [from] doing H6213 (8800) thy pleasure H2656 on my holy H6944 day H3117; and call H7121 (8804) the sabbath H7676 a delight H6027, the holy H6918 of the LORD H3068, honourable H3513 (8794); and shalt honour H3513 (8765) him, not doing H6213 (8800) thine own ways H1870, nor finding H4672 (8800) thine own pleasure H2656, nor speaking H1696 (8763) [thine own] words H1697:
[14] Then shalt thou delight H6026 (8691) thyself in the LORD H3068; and I will cause thee to ride H7392 (8689) upon the high places H1116 of the earth H776, and feed H398 (8689) thee with the heritage H5159 of Jacob H3290 thy father H1: for the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 (8765) [it].

Young’s Literal Translation

Isaiah 58 (YLT)

[1] Call with the throat, restrain not, As a trumpet lift up thy voice, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
[2] Seeing-Me day by day they seek, And the knowledge of My ways they desire, As a nation that righteousness hath done, And the judgment of its God hath not forsaken, They ask of me judgments of righteousness, The drawing near of God they desire:
[3] ‘Why have we fasted, and Thou hast not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and Thou knowest not.’ Lo, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, And all your labours ye exact.
[4] Lo, for strife and debate ye fast, And to smite with the fist of wickedness, Ye fast not as to-day, To sound in the high place your voice.
[5] Like this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow as a reed his head, And sackcloth and ashes spread out? This dost thou call a fast, And a desirable day-to Jehovah?
[6] Is not this the fast that I chose- To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And every yoke ye draw off?
[7] Is it not to deal to the hungry thy bread, And the mourning poor bring home, That thou seest the naked and cover him, And from thine own flesh hide not thyself?
[8] Then broken up as the dawn is thy light, And thy health in haste springeth up, Gone before thee hath thy righteousness, The honour of Jehovah doth gather thee.
[9] Then thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and He saith, ‘Behold Me.’ If thou turn aside from thy midst the yoke, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
[10] And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath thy light, And thy thick darkness is as noon.
[11] And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters lie not.
[12] And they have built out of thee the wastes of old, The foundations of many generations thou raisest up, And one calleth thee, ‘Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.’
[13] If thou dost turn from the sabbath thy foot, Doing thine own pleasure on My holy day, And hast cried to the sabbath, ‘A delight,’ To the holy of Jehovah, ‘Honoured,’ And hast honoured it, without doing thine own ways, Without finding thine own pleasure, And speaking a word.
[14] Then dost thou delight thyself on Jehovah, And I have caused thee to ride on high places of earth, And have caused thee to eat the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken!
