1	Cry# aloud, spare# not, lift# up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew# my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. [aloud: Heb. with the throat]
			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. [labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs]
			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. [ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day]
			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 LORD? [a day...: or, to afflict his soul for a day?]
			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? [the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke] [oppressed: Heb. broken]
			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? [cast...: or, afflicted]
			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 LORD shall be thy rereward# . [be...: Heb. gather thee up]
			9	Then shalt thou call# , and the LORD 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 LORD 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. [drought: Heb. droughts] [fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive]
			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 LORD, 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# thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride# upon the high places of the earth, and feed# thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken# it .
