True Fasts and Sabbaths
True Fasts and Sabbaths
- lift up your voice like a trumpet,
- and declare[fn] to my people their rebellion,
- and to the house of Jacob their sins.
- 2 Yet[fn] they seek me day by day, and they desire the knowledge of my ways
- like a nation that practiced[fn] righteousness,
- and had not forsaken the judgment of its God;
- they ask me for righteous judgments ,[fn]
- they desire the closeness of God.
- 3 ‘Why do we fast, and you do not see it? We humiliate our soul, and you do not notice it?’
- Look! You find delight on the day of your fast,
- and you oppress all your workers!
- 4 Look! You fast to quarrel and strife, and to strike with a wicked fist .[fn]
- You shall not fast as you do today ,[fn]
- to make your voice heard[fn] on the height.
- 5 Is the fast I choose like this, a day for humankind to humiliate himself[fn]?
- To bow his head like a reed,
- and make[fn] his bed on sackcloth and ashes;
- you call this a fast
- and a day of pleasure to Yahweh?
- 6 Is this not the fast I choose: to release the bonds of injustice, to untie the ropes of the yoke,
- and to let the oppressed go free,
- and tear[fn] every yoke to pieces?
- 7 Is it not to break your bread for the hungry? You must bring home[fn] the poor, the homeless.
- When you see the naked, you must cover him,
- and you must not hide yourself from your relatives .[fn]
- 8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall grow quickly.
- And your salvation shall go before you;
- the glory of Yahweh will be your rear guard.
- 9 Then you shall call, and Yahweh himself will answer. You shall cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am!’
- If you remove from among you the yoke,
- the finger-pointing[fn] and evil speech ,[fn]
- 10 if[fn] you offer your soul to the hungry, and you satisfy the appetite of the afflicted,
- then[fn] your light shall rise in the darkness,
- and your darkness will be like noon.
- 11 And Yahweh will lead you continually, and satisfy your soul in a barren land, and he will strengthen your bones,
- and you shall be like a well-watered garden,
- and like a spring of water whose water does not fail.
- 12 And they shall rebuild ancient ruins from you; you shall erect the foundations of many generations,[fn]
- and you shall be called[fn] the bricklayer of the breach,
- the restorer of paths to live in.
- 13 If you hold your foot back from the Sabbath, from doing your affairs on my holy day ,[fn]
- if[fn] you call the Sabbath a pleasure,
- the holy day of Yahweh honorable,
- if[fn] you honor him more than[fn] doing your ways,
- than finding your affairs[fn] and speaking a word,
- 14 then you shall take your pleasure in[fn] Yahweh, and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth,
- and I will feed you the heritage of Jacob your ancestor,[fn]
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
