  58:1 ¶
Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up thy voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities. |
|
58:1 ¶
Cry°°
aloud,°
spare°°
not,°
lift°°
up°
thy voice°
like a trumpet,°
and shew°°
my people°
their transgression,°
and the house°
of Jacob°
their sins.° |
|
58:2
They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw nigh to God, |
|
58:2
Yet they seek°°
me daily,°
and delight°°
to know°
my ways,°
as a nation°
that°
did°°
righteousness,°
and forsook°°
not°
the ordinance°
of their Elohim:°
they ask°°
of me the ordinances°
of justice;°
they take delight°°
in approaching°
to Elohim.° |
|
58:3 ¶
saying, Why have we fasted, and thou regardest not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and thou didst not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts ye find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power ye wound. |
|
58:3 ¶
Wherefore°
have we fasted,°°
[say they], and thou seest°°
not?°
[wherefore] have we afflicted°°
our soul,°
and thou takest no knowledge?°°°
Behold,°
in the day°
of your fast°
ye find°°
pleasure,°
and exact°°
all°
your labours.° |
|
58:4
If ye fast for quarrels and strifes, and smite the lowly with [your] fists, wherefore do ye fast to me as [ye do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying? |
|
58:4
Behold,°
ye fast°°
for strife°
and debate,°
and to smite°°
with the fist°
of wickedness:°
ye shall not°
fast°°
as [ye do this] day,°
to make your voice°
to be heard°°
on high.° |
|
58:5
I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though thou shouldest bend down thy neck as a ring, and spread under thee sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall ye call a fast acceptable. |
|
58:5
Is°
it such°
a fast°
that I have chosen?°°
a day°
for a man°
to afflict°°
his soul?°
[is it] to bow down°°
his head°
as a bulrush,°
and to spread°°
sackcloth°
and ashes°
[under him]? wilt thou call°°
this°
a fast,°
and an acceptable°
day°
to Yahweh?° |
|
58:6
I have not chosen such a fast, saith the Lord; but do thou loose every burden of iniquity, do thou untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account. |
|
58:6
[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?° |
|
58:7
Break thy bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to thy house: if thou seest one naked, clothe [him], and thou shalt not disregard the relations of thine own seed. |
|
58:7
[Is it] not°
to deal°°
thy bread°
to the hungry,°
and that thou bring°°
the poor°
that are cast out°
to thy house?°
when°
thou seest°°
the naked,°
that thou cover°°
him; and that thou hide°°
not thyself°°
from thine own flesh?°° |
|
58:8 ¶
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily spring forth: and thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of God shall compass thee. |
|
58:8 ¶
Then°
shall thy light°
break forth°°
as the morning,°
and thine health°
shall spring forth°°
speedily:°
and thy righteousness°
shall go°°
before°
thee; the glory°
of Yahweh°
shall be thy rereward.°° |
|
58:9
Then shalt thou cry, and God shall hearken to thee; while thou art yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If thou remove from thee the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech; |
|
58:9
Then°
shalt thou call,°°
and Yahweh°
shall answer;°°
thou shalt cry,°°
and he shall say,°°
Here°
I [am]. If°
thou take away°°
from the midst°°
of thee the yoke,°
the putting forth°°
of the finger,°
and speaking°°
vanity;° |
|
58:10
and [if] thou give bread to the hungry from thy heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light spring up in darkness, and thy darkness [shall be] as noon-day: |
|
58:10
And [if] thou draw out°°
thy soul°
to the hungry,°
and satisfy°°
the afflicted°°
soul;°
then shall thy light°
rise°°
in obscurity,°
and thy darkness°
[be] as the noonday:° |
|
58:11
and thy God shall be with thee continually, and thou shalt be satisfied according as thy soul desires; and thy bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed. |
|
58:11
And Yahweh°
shall guide°°
thee continually,°
and satisfy°°
thy soul°
in drought,°
and make fat°°
thy bones:°
and thou shalt be°
like a watered°
garden,°
and like a spring°
of water,°
whose°
waters°
fail°°
not.° |
|
58:12
And thy old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and thy foundations shall last through all generations; and thou shalt be called a repairer of breaches, and thou shalt cause thy paths between to be in peace. |
|
58:12
And [they that shall be] of°
thee shall build°°
the old°
waste places:°
thou shalt raise up°°
the foundations°
of many°
generations;°
and thou shalt be called,°°
The repairer°°
of the breach,°
The restorer°°
of paths°
to dwell°
in.°° |
|
58:13 ¶
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, so as not to do thy pleasure on the holy days, and shalt call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] thou shalt not lift up thy foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of thy mouth, |
|
58:13 ¶
If°
thou turn away°°
thy foot°
from the sabbath,°°
[from] doing°°
thy pleasure°
on my holy°
day;°
and call°°
the sabbath°
a delight,°
the holy°
of Yahweh,°
honourable;°°
and shalt honour°°
him, not doing°°°
thine own ways,°
nor finding°°°
thine own pleasure,°
nor speaking°°
[thine own] words:° |
|
58:14
then shalt thou trust on the Lord; and he shall bring thee up to the good places of the land, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this. |
|
58:14
Then°
shalt thou delight°°
thyself°
in°
Yahweh;°
and I will cause thee to ride°°
upon°
the high places°
of the earth,°
and feed°°
thee with the heritage°
of Jacob°
thy father:°
for°
the mouth°
of Yahweh°
hath spoken°°
[it]. |
