1: CryH7121 aloud,H1627 not,H0408 spareH2820 like a trumpet,H7782 Lift upH7311 your voiceH6963 and TellH5046 My peopleH5971 their transgression,H6588 and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sins.H2403

2: And yet MeH0853 dayH3117 by day,H3117 they seekH1875 and to knowH1847 My ways,H1870 delightH2654 as a nationH1471 thatH0834 righteousness,H6666 didH6213 and the ordinanceH4941 of their God.H0430 NotH3808 did forsakeH5800 they ask of MeH7592 the ordinancesH4941 of justice-H6664 in approachingH7132 GodH0430 they take delight.H2654

3: WhyH4100 have we fasted [they say],H6684 and not?H3808 You have seenH7200 [Why] have we afflictedH6031 our souls,H5315 and noH3808 You take notice?H3045 in fact,H2005 in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 you findH4672 pleasure,H2656 and allH3605 your laborersH6092 exploit.H5065

4: Indeed,H2005 for strifeH7379 and debate,H4683 you fastH6684 and to strikeH5221 with the fistH0106 of wickedness-H7562 notH3808 You will fastH6684 as [you do] this day,H3117 to make heardH8085 on highH4791 your voice.H6963

5: Like thisH2088 is itH1961 a fastH6685 that I have chosen?H0977 a dayH3117 to afflictH6031 for a manH0120 his soul?H5315 [is it] to bow downH3721 like a bulrush,H0100 his headH7218 and sackclothH8242 and ashesH0665 to spread outH3331 would thisH2088 you callH7121 a fast,H6685 and dayH3117 an acceptableH7522 to Yahweh?H3068

6: [Is] notH3808 thisH2088 the fastH6685 that I have chosen?H0977 to looseH6605 the bondsH2784 of wickedness,H7562 to undoH5425 the burdens,H0092 heavyH4133 and to let goH7971 the oppressedH7533 free,H2670 and everyH3605 yokeH4133 that you break?H5423

7: [is it] notH3808 to shareH6536 with the hungry,H7457 your breadH3899 and the poorH6041 who are cast outH4788 that you bringH0935 to your house?H1004 whenH3588 you seeH7200 the naked,H6174 that you cover himH3680 and from your own flesh?H1320 notH3808 hide yourself.H5956

8: ThenH0227 shall break forthH1234 like the morning,H7837 your lightH0216 and Your healingH0724 speedily-H4120 shall spring forthH6779 and shall goH1980 before youH6440 your righteousnessH6664 the gloryH3519 of YahwehH3068 shall be your rear guard.H0622

9: ThenH0227 you shall call,H7121 and YahwehH3068 will answer-H6030 You shall cry,H7768 and He will say,H0559 Here I [am]H2005 ifH0518 you take awayH5493 from the your midstH8432 the yoke,H4133 the pointingH7971 of finger,H0676 and speakingH1696 wickedness-H0205

10: and [If] you extendH6329 to the hungry,H7457 your soulH5315 and the soul-H5315 afflictedH6031 satisfyH7646 and shall dawnH2224 in the darkness,H2822 your lightH0216 and your darkness shall [be]H0653 as the noonday.H6672

11: And will guide youH5148 YahwehH3069 continually,H8548 and satisfyH7646 in drought,H6710 your soulH5315 and your bones-H6106 strengthenH2502 and You shall beH1961 like a garden,H1588 wateredH7302 and like a springH4161 of water,H4325 whoseH0834 notH3808 do failH3576 waters.H4325

12: And shall buildH1129 Those from among youH4480 the waste places-H2723 oldH5769 the foundationsH4146 ofH1755 and many generations-H1755 You shall raise upH6965 and shall be called,H7121 the RepairerH1443 of the Breach,H6556 the RestorerH7725 of StreetsH5410 to Dwell in.H3427

13: IfH0518 you turn awayH7725 from the Sabbath,H7676 your footH7272 [From] doingH6213 your pleasureH2656 on day-H3117 My holyH6944 and callH7121 the SabbathH7676 a delight,H6027 the holy [day]H6918 of Yahweh,H3068 honorable-H3513 and shall honor HimH3513 not doingH6213 your own ways,H1870 nor findingH4672 your own pleasure,H2656 nor speakingH1696 [your own] words,H1697

14: thenH0227 you shall delight yourselfH6026 inH5921 Yahweh-H3068 and I will cause you to rideH7392 onH5921 the earth,H0776 and feed youH0398 with the heritageH5159 of JacobH3290 your father,H0001 forH3588 the mouthH6310 of YahwehH3068 has spoken.H1696
