me, and the souls
which
I have made.
17
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote
him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
18
I have seen his
ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to
him that is
far off, and to
him that is
near, saith the
L
ORD
; and I will heal him.
20
But the wicked
are
like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose
waters cast up mire and dirt.
21
There is
no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
CHAPTER 58
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew 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 did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances
of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3
Wherefore have we fasted,
say they,
and thou seest not?
wherefore
have we afflicted our soul,
and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your
labours.
4
Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall
not fast as
ye do this
day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5
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 as a bulrush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes
under him?
wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the L
ORD
?
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 ye break every yoke?
7
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 hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily:
and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the L
ORD
shall be thy rereward.
9
Then shalt
thou call, and the L
ORD
shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I
am.
If thou take away
from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10
And
if
thou
draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity,
and thy darkness
be
as the noonday:
11
And the L
ORD
shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy
soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring
of water, whose waters fail not.
12
And
they that shall be
of thee shall build the old waste places:
thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of
the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,
from
doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call
the sabbath a delight, the holy of the L
ORD
, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own
ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking
thine own
words:
14
Then shalt thou delight
