Isaiah 58:1-3

Modern English Version

58 Cry aloud, do not hold back;
    lift up your voice like a trumpet,
and show My people their transgression
    and the house of Jacob their sins.
² Yet they seek Me daily
    and delight to know My ways,
as a nation that has done righteousness
    and has not forsaken the ordinance of their God.
They ask Me for the ordinances of justice;
    they take delight in approaching God.
³ “Why have we fasted
    and You do not see?
Why have we humbled ourselves
    and You take no notice?”
