Isaiah 58
58
1Cry aloud, spare not, lift up youri voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God] their sins.
2Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
3For what reason have we fasted, [say they], and youi see not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and youi take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you2f find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4Behold, you2f fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you2f shall not fast as [you2f do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush (tall plant near water, such as papyrus), and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? will youi call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)?
6 [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 you2f break every yoke?
7 [Is it] not to deal youri bread to the hungry, and that youi bring the poor that are cast out to youri house? when youi see the naked, that youi cover him; and that youi hide not yourself from youri own flesh?
8Then shall youri light break forth as the morning, and youri health shall spring forth speedily: and youri righteousness shall go before youi; the glory of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be youri rear guard.
9Then shall youi call, and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall answer; youi shall cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If youi take away from the midst of youi the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10And [if] youi draw out youri soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall youri light rise in obscurity, and youri darkness [be] as the noonday:
11And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall guide youi continually, and satisfy youri soul in drought, and make fat youri bones: and youi shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12And [they that shall be] of youi shall build the old waste places: youi shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and youi shall be called, The repairer of the breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet), The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13If youi turn away youri foot from the Shabbat [Rest], [from] doing youri pleasure on my holy day; and call the Shabbat [Rest] a delight, the holy of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), honourable; and shall honour him, not doing youri own ways, nor finding youri own pleasure, nor speaking [youri own] words:
14Then shall youi delight yourself in the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will cause youi to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed youi with the heritage of Ya’akov [Heal of God] youri father: for the mouth of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].

Isaiah 58
58
1“Cry aloud! Don’t spare!
Lift up your voice like a trumpet!
Declare to my people their disobedience,
and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2Yet they seek me daily,
and delight to know my ways.
As a nation that did righteousness,
and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God,
they ask of me righteous judgments.
They delight to draw near to God.
3‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you don’t see?
Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’
“Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure,
and oppress all your laborers.
4Behold, you fast for strife and contention,
and to strike with the fist of wickedness.
You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
5Is this the fast that I have chosen?
A day for a man to humble his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself?
Will you call this a fast,
and an acceptable day to Yahweh?
6“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen:
to release the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and that you break every yoke?
7Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry,
and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house?
When you see the naked,
that you cover him;
and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8Then your light will break out as the morning,
and your healing will appear quickly;
then your righteousness shall go before you,
and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.
9Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer.
You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away from among you the yoke,
finger pointing,
and speaking wickedly;
10and if you pour out your soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul,
then your light will rise in darkness,
and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
11and Yahweh will guide you continually,
satisfy your soul in dry places,
and make your bones strong.
You will be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water
whose waters don’t fail.
12Those who will be of you will build the old waste places.
You will raise up the foundations of many generations.
You will be called Repairer of the Breach,
Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
13“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight,
and the holy of Yahweh honorable,
and honor it,
not doing your own ways,
nor finding your own pleasure,
nor speaking your own words,
14then you will delight yourself in Yahweh,
and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth,
and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;”
for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.
