Chapter 58.

00:03.030 --> 00:09.230
"'Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice
like a trumpet, and show my people their

00:09.230 --> 00:12.430
transgression, and the house of Jacob
their sins.

00:12.850 --> 00:17.230
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to
know my ways, as a nation that did

00:17.230 --> 00:20.430
righteousness, and forsook not the
ordinance of their God.

00:21.030 --> 00:23.210
They ask of me the ordinances of justice.

00:23.710 --> 00:25.590
They take delight in approaching to God.

00:27.210 --> 00:31.390
Wherefore have we fasted, say they,
and thou seest not?

00:32.090 --> 00:35.570
Wherefore have we afflicted our soul,
and thou takest no knowledge?

00:37.190 --> 00:41.690
Behold, in the day of your fast,
ye find pleasure, and exact all your

00:41.690 --> 00:42.090
labours.

00:42.670 --> 00:47.710
Behold, ye fast for strife and debate,
and to smite with the fist of wickedness.

00:48.270 --> 00:52.690
Ye shall not fast as ye do this day,
to make your voice to be heard on high.

00:53.470 --> 00:58.110
Is it such a fast that I have chosen,
a day for a man to afflict his soul?

00:58.810 --> 01:03.870
Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under

01:03.870 --> 01:04.130
him?

01:04.790 --> 01:08.970
Wilt thou call this a fast, and an
acceptable day to the Lord?

01:10.070 --> 01:14.750
Is not this the fast that I have chosen,
to loose the bands of wickedness,

01:15.170 --> 01:20.850
to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that ye break every

01:20.850 --> 01:21.230
yoke?

01:21.230 --> 01:26.170
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry,
and that thou bring the poor that are cast

01:26.170 --> 01:27.150
out to thy house?

01:27.530 --> 01:32.030
When thou seest the naked, that thou cover
him, and that thou hide not thyself from

01:32.030 --> 01:32.910
thine own flesh?

01:33.310 --> 01:37.490
Then shall thy light break forth as the
morning, and thine health shall spring

01:37.490 --> 01:41.210
forth speedily, and thy righteousness
shall go before thee.

01:41.330 --> 01:43.790
The glory of the Lord shall be thy
re-reward.

01:44.850 --> 01:47.450
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall
answer.

01:47.950 --> 01:51.050
Thou shalt cry, and he shall say,
Here I am.

01:51.750 --> 01:55.650
If thou take away from the midst of thee
the yoke, the putting forth of the finger,

01:55.870 --> 02:01.290
and speaking vanity, and if thou draw out
thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the

02:01.290 --> 02:06.810
afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise
in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the

02:06.810 --> 02:07.350
noon day.

02:08.610 --> 02:13.330
And the Lord shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought,

02:13.950 --> 02:15.430
and make fat thy bones.

02:15.430 --> 02:20.770
And thou shalt be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water, whose waters

02:20.770 --> 02:21.470
fail not.

02:23.050 --> 02:26.610
And they that shall be of thee shall build
the old waste places.

02:27.250 --> 02:31.870
Thou shalt raise up the foundations of
many generations, and thou shalt be called

02:31.870 --> 02:36.090
the repairer of the breach, the restorer
of paths to dwell in.

02:36.770 --> 02:40.850
If thou turn away thy foot from the
Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my

02:40.850 --> 02:45.790
holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight,
the holy of the Lord, honorable.

02:46.290 --> 02:50.470
And shalt honor him, not doing thine own
ways, nor finding thine own pleasure,

02:50.870 --> 02:52.570
nor speaking thine own words.

02:53.170 --> 02:57.310
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the
Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon

02:57.310 --> 03:01.050
the high places of the earth, and feed
thee with the heritage of Jacob thy

03:01.050 --> 03:01.410
father.

03:01.990 --> 03:04.130
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
