Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Cry
aloud
, spare
not, lift up thy voice like
a
trumpet
, and shew
my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins .
Call
with
the
throat
, restrain
not, As
a
trumpet
lift up thy voice, And 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 the ordinances
of justice;
they
take
delight
in
approaching
to
God .
Seeing
--
Me
day
by
day
they seek, And the
knowledge
of
My ways they
desire
, As a nation that righteousness hath
done
, And the judgment
of its
God hath
not
forsaken,
They ask of me judgments
of
righteousness,
The drawing
near
of God they
desire:
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.
`Why
have we fasted, and Thou hast
not seen
? We have
afflicted our soul, and Thou knowest
not.'
Lo
, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, And all your labours ye
exact
.
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
.
Lo
, for strife and debate ye
fast
, And to smite with the fist of wickedness ,
Ye fast not
as `to'-
day, To sound
in
the
high
place
your voice.
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
?
Like
this
is the
fast that I choose
? The
day of
a man's
afflicting
his soul? To bow as a reed
his
head
, And sackcloth and ashes spread
out
? This
dost
thou call a fast, And a
desirable
day --
to Jehovah
?
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?
Is not this the fast that I chose
--
To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake
off
the burdens of
the
yoke
, And to send
out
the oppressed free, And every yoke ye
draw
off
?
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?
Is it not to deal to the hungry thy
bread
, And the mourning
poor bring
home,
That thou seest the naked and
cover him ,
And from thine own flesh hide
not
thyself
?
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
.
Then broken
up
as the dawn
is
thy
light
, And thy health
in
haste
springeth
up,
Gone
before thee hath
thy
righteousness,
The honour
of Jehovah
doth
gather
thee
.
Then shalt
thou call
, and the
LORD
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 ;
Then thou callest
, and Jehovah
answereth,
Thou criest
, and He saith
, `Behold
Me
. '
If thou turn
aside
from thy
midst the yoke, The sending
forth of the finger, And the
speaking of
vanity ,
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
noon day:
And dost
bring
out to the hungry thy
soul
, And the afflicted soul dost
satisfy,
Then risen
in
the
darkness
hath
thy light, And thy thick
darkness `is'
as noon .
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 fail
not.
And Jehovah
doth
lead
thee continually, And hath
satisfied
in drought thy
soul
, And thy bones He
armeth,
And thou hast
been
as
a watered garden, And as
an
outlet
of waters
, whose waters lie
not.
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.
And they have
built
out
of thee the wastes
of
old ,
The foundations of many generations thou raisest
up
, And
one
calleth
thee,
`
Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest
in. '
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 the
LORD
, honourable;
and shalt
honour
him
, not
doing thine own ways, nor
finding thine own pleasure, nor
speaking thine
own
words:
If thou dost
turn from the sabbath thy
foot
, Doing thine
own
pleasure on My holy day ,
And hast
cried
to
the sabbath ,
`
A delight, '
To
the holy of Jehovah
, `Honoured,'
And hast
honoured
it
, without
doing thine own ways, Without
finding thine own pleasure, And
speaking a
word.
Then shalt
thou delight thyself in
the
LORD;
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 the
LORD
hath spoken it.
Then dost
thou delight thyself on
Jehovah,
And I have
caused
thee to ride on
high places of earth, And have
caused
thee to
eat
the inheritance
of Jacob thy father ,
For the mouth of Jehovah
hath spoken !
