Isa 58:13–14

58:13 Blessings for keeping the rest day

13 If on the rest day, you turn back from what you wanted to do

and don’t try to please yourself on my sacred day,

enjoy Yahweh’s sacred and honourable rest day,

and honour it instead of doing your own activities such as finding your own pleasure or delivering a speech,

14 then you’ll take delight in Yahweh.

I’ll make you ride on the heights of the earth,

and I’ll give you the same blessings that I gave your ancestor, Ya’akov (Jacob).

That’s what Yahweh has spoken.
