ISAIAH 58:5,6,7,8
Is it such a fast
that I have chosen?
A day for a man
to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down
his head like a bulrush
and to spread sackcloth
and ashes under him?
Wilt thou call this a fast,
and an acceptable day
to the Lord?
Is not this the fast that I
have chosen?
To loose the bands
of wickedness
To undo the heavy burdens
and to let the oppressed
go free
And that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread
to the hungry,
and that thou bring the poor
that are cast out
to thy house?
When thou seest the naked,
that thou cover him
and that thou hidest not thyself
from thy own flesh?
Then shall the light break forth
as the morning, and thy health
shall spring forth speedily,
And thy righteousness shall
go before thee
The glory of the Lord shall be
thy rear guard
