Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
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 ;
“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 .
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:
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 .”
`
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
.
“
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
.
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.
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
.
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 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 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
?
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
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
?
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 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 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 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
,
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 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 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
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
.
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
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
. '
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
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.
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 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 !
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 .
