Isaiah 58:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Is the fast I choose like this,
a day for humankind to humiliate himself[a]?
To bow his head like a reed,
and make[b] his bed on sackcloth and ashes;
you call this a fast
and a day of pleasure to Yahweh?
6 Is this not the fast I choose: to release the bonds of injustice,
to untie the ropes of the yoke,
and to let the oppressed go free,
and tear[c] every yoke to pieces?
7 Is it not to break your bread for the hungry?
You must bring home[d] the poor, the homeless.
When you see the naked, you must cover him,
and you must not hide yourself from your relatives.[e]
