rotherham@Isaiah:58:5 @ Like this, shall the fast be that I choose, A day for the son of earth to humble his soul? Is it to bow down as a rush his head, And sackcloth and ashes, to spread out? Is it, this, thou wilt call a fast, Or a day of acceptance with Yahweh?

rotherham@Isaiah:58:6 @ Is not, this, the fast that I must ever choose To unbind the tight cords of lawlessness, To unloose the bands of the yoke, and To let the crushed go free, and That every yoke, ye tear off?

rotherham@Isaiah:58:13 @ If thou turn back. From the sabbath Shy foot, From doing thine own pleasure on my holy day, And shall call The sabbath, An exquisite delight, The holy day of Yahweh, A day to be honoured, And so shall honour it rather Than do thine own ways, Than take thine own pleasure or Than speak thine own word,

rotherham@Isaiah:58:14 @ Then, shall then rest thine own exquisite delight upon Yahweh, And I will cause thee to ride over the high places of the land, And will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob Shy father, For the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken.
