ULT ISA Chapter 58

◄ ISA 58 ► ║ ©

58 “Cry out from the throat; do not hold back;

lift up your voice like a trumpet,

and confront my people with their rebellion,

and the house of Jacob with their sins.

2 Yet they seek me day by day

and delight in the knowledge of my ways,

like a nation that practiced righteousness

and the ordinances of its God did not abandon.

They ask me for judgments of righteousness;

they take pleasure in the approach of God.

3 ‘Why have we fasted, and you do not see?

We humbled ourselves, and you do not notice?’

“Behold, on the day of your fast you find pleasure

and oppress all your laborers.

4 Behold, you fast to quarrel and fight,

and to hit with a fist of wickedness;

you do not fast today

to make your voice heard above.

5 Will one like this be the fast I choose?

A day a man inflicts his soul,

to bow down his head like a reed,

and to spread sackcloth and ashes?

Do you call this a fast,

and a day of Yahweh’s pleasure?

6 Is not this the fast I choose:

to loosen wicked bonds,

to undo the ropes of the yoke,

and to set the crushed ones free,

and to break every yoke?

7 Is it not to distribute your bread to the hungry

and bring the homeless poor into your house?”

When you see one naked, then clothe him,

and your flesh do not ignore.

8 Then your light will break like the dawn

and your healing quickly sprout up

and your righteousness will go before your face.

The glory of Yahweh will be your rearguard.

9 Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer;

cry out, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’

“If you take away from among you the yoke,

the pointing finger, and the speech of wickedness,

10 and provide for the hungry your life

and satisfy the appetite of the afflicted,

then your light will rise in the darkness,

and your darkness will be like the noonday.

11 Then Yahweh will lead you continually

and satisfy your appetite in the desert,

and your bones he will strengthen,

and will be like a watered garden,

and like a spring of water,

whose waters never fail.

12 And some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins;

you will raise up the foundations of generation upon generation,

and you will be called The Repairer of the Wall,

The Restorer of Streets to Live On.

13 “If you turn back your feet on the Sabbath,

from doing your pleasure on my holy day,

and call the Sabbath a delight,

holy of Yahweh, honored,

and honor it, keeping from doing your ways,

finding your pleasure, and speaking speech,

14 “then you will delight in Yahweh,

and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;

and I will feed you the inheritance of Jacob your father,”

for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.
