jub - Isaiah:58

jub@Isaiah:58:1 @ Cry aloud, do not hold back; lift up thy voice like a shofar and preach to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sin.

jub@Isaiah:58:2 @ That they seek me daily and want to know my ways, as people that do righteousness and have not forsaken the rights of their God: they ask me of the rights of righteousness and desire to approach God.

jub@Isaiah:58:3 @ Why have we fasted, [they say], and thou dost not see? [why] have we afflicted our soul, and thou dost take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find [your own] pleasure and exact your own estates.

jub@Isaiah: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.

jub@Isaiah: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 the LORD?

jub@Isaiah:58:6 @ [Is] not rather the fast that I have chosen, to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the ties of oppression, to release [into freedom] those who are broken, and that ye break every yoke?

jub@Isaiah:58:7 @ [Is it] not to share thy bread with 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 not hide thyself from thy brother?

jub@Isaiah: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 the LORD shall be thy rereward.

jub@Isaiah:58:9 @ Then shalt thou call, and thou shalt hear the LORD; 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;

jub@Isaiah:58:10 @ and [if] thou pour 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:

jub@Isaiah:58:11 @ And the LORD 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 do not fail.

jub@Isaiah:58:12 @ And [they] shall build up out of thee the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the [fallen] foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

jub@Isaiah:58:13 @ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy will on my holy day; and call the sabbath [the] delightful, holy, glorious [day] of the LORD; and shalt honour him by not doing thine own ways, nor seeking thine own will, nor speaking [thine own] words:

jub@Isaiah:58:14 @ Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and cause thee to eat of the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken [it].:
