1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and 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 forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 3 Wherefore have we fasted, <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>say they<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>, and thou </font>see<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> not? </font><em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>wherefore<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> have we afflicted our soul, and thou </font>take<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”> no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your </font>labors<font color=”rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)” face=”inherit”>. </font>4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?6 <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>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? (Isaiah 58)
