Berean Standard Bible
Cry aloud, spare
not ,
lift
up
thy
voice like a trumpet,
and
declare unto
my people their transgression ,
and to the house of Jacob their sins.
“
Cry aloud, do
not hold
back!
Raise
your
voice like a ram’s
horn.
Declare to
My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.
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 righteous judgments; they delight to
draw
near
unto
God.
For
day
after
day
they seek Me and delight to know My ways ,
like
a nation that does
what
is
right
and does
not forsake
the justice
of their God .
They ask Me for
righteous judgments; they delight in
the
nearness
of
God. ”
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
`your
own'
pleasure
, and exact
all your labors
.
“Why
have we fasted, and You
have
not seen
? Why
have we humbled
ourselves
, and You
have
not
noticed
? ”
“
Behold, on
the day of your fast, you
do
as
you
please,
and you
oppress
all your workers
.
Behold,
ye
fast for
strife
and
contention ,
and to smite
with the
fist of
wickedness:
ye
fast not
this
day
so
as to
make
your voice to
be heard on high.
You
fast with
contention and strife
to strike
viciously
with your
fist .
You
cannot
fast as you
do
today
and
have
your voice be heard on high.
Is such
the fast that
I have chosen ?
the
day for a man to afflict
his
soul?
Is
it
to bow down
his head as
a rush
, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under
him
? wilt
thou
call this a fast ,
and an
acceptable
day to Jehovah
?
Is this
the fast I have chosen :
a
day for a man to deny
himself,
to bow his head like
a reed
, and to spread out
sackcloth and ashes? Will
you
call this a fast and a
day acceptable
to the
LORD
?
Is
not
this the fast that I have chosen: to loose
the bonds
of wickedness, to undo
the bands
of the yoke, and
to let
the oppressed go
free ,
and that
ye
break
every yoke?
Isn’t
this the fast that I have chosen: to break
the chains
of wickedness, to untie
the cords
of the yoke, to set
the oppressed free and tear
off
every yoke?
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?
Isn’t
it to share
your
bread with
the hungry, to
bring the poor and
homeless
into
your
home,
to clothe
the naked when
you
see
him ,
and not to
turn
away
from your
own flesh and
blood
?
Then shall
thy
light break forth as
the morning
, and thy
healing shall
spring
forth
speedily;
and
thy
righteousness shall
go before thee;
the glory of Jehovah
shall
by
thy
rearward
.
Then your
light will
break forth like
the dawn
, and your
healing will
come
quickly.
Your
righteousness will
go before you,
and
the glory of the
LORD
will
be
your
rear
guard
.
Then shalt
thou
call, and Jehovah
will answer; thou
shalt
cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou
take
away
from
the
midst
of
thee
the yoke, the putting
forth
of the finger ,
and speaking
wickedly;
Then you
will
call, and the
LORD
will answer; you
will
cry out
, and He will say, ‘
Here I am. ’
If you
remove
the yoke from
your
midst
, the pointing
of the finger and malicious
talk,
and if thou
draw
out
thy
soul
to the hungry ,
and satisfy the afflicted soul :
then shall
thy
light rise
in darkness, and thine
obscurity
be as
the
noonday ;
and if you
give
yourself
to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul ,
then your
light will
go
forth
in the
darkness, and your
night
will
be like
noonday .
and
Jehovah
will guide thee
continually,
and
satisfy thy
soul
in dry
places,
and
make
strong
thy
bones;
and thou
shalt
be like a watered garden, and
like a spring of
water,
whose waters fail not
.
The
LORD
will always
guide you;
He
will
satisfy you
in a
sun-scorched
land
and strengthen
your
frame.
You
will
be like a well-
watered garden, like a spring whose waters never
fail.
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
.
Your
people
will
rebuild
the ancient
ruins
; you
will
restore
the age-old
foundations; you
will
be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the
Streets
of
Dwelling
.
If thou
turn away
thy
foot from the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure
on my holy day ;
and
call the sabbath a delight, `
and '
the holy of
Jehovah
honorable ;
and
shalt
honor it ,
not doing
thine
own ways,
nor
finding
thine
own pleasure ,
nor
speaking `thine
own'
words :
If you
turn your
foot from breaking
the Sabbath, from doing as
you
please
on My holy day ,
if
you
call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s
holy day
honorable ,
if
you
honor it by
not going
your
own way
or
seeking
your
own pleasure or
speaking idle
words ,
then shalt
thou
delight thyself
in Jehovah;
and I will make thee
to
ride upon
the high
places
of the earth;
and I
will
feed thee
with the heritage of Jacob
thy
father :
for the mouth of Jehovah
hath
spoken it
.
then you
will
delight yourself
in the
LORD,
and I will make you
ride on
the heights
of the land
and feed you
with the heritage of your
father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the
LORD
has
spoken.
