Isaiah 58:5-7

Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to afflict himself?
Is it for bowing ^[a]one’s head like a reed
And for spreading out ^(A)sackcloth and ashes as a bed?
Will you call this a fast, even an ^(B)acceptable day to Yahweh?
⁶ Is this not the fast which I choose,
To ^(C)loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To release the bands of ^[b]the yoke,
And to ^(D)let the oppressed go free
And ^(E)break every ^[c]yoke?
⁷ Is it not to ^(F)divide your bread ^[d]with the hungry
And ^(G)bring the afflicted homeless into the house;
When you see the ^(H)naked, you cover him;
And not to ^(I)hide yourself from your own flesh?
