RF ISA 58:1 ODE 54.
Proclamation against Sin.
"Shout, roar unrestrained like a trumpet!—
Lift your voice, and declare to My People their crimes,
To the Household of Jacob their sins!
RF ISA 58:2 Yet daily they seek, and love learning My path,
Like a race doing right, not forgetting GOD'S law;
They seek My just laws,—and with joy approach GOD.
RF ISA 58:3 Say, 'We fast, but You see not,—
We starve,—but You know not!'
Why? Because on your Fast day you meet for your pleasure,
RF ISA 58:4 And drive on your workmen'! You fast for contention;
Your fasting to strike with hard fists, is not fasting.
What a day!—when you make your loud voices be heard!
RF ISA 58:5 Is the Fast I approve such as this,—
Men to torture their bodies a day?
To hang down like a bulrush their head?
To make sackcloth and ashes their bed?
Call it fast-day' and pleasing the Lord?'
RF ISA 58:6 Is not this the Fast I approve?—
To free those who are wrongfully bound?
And to loosen your slaves from their yoke?
And to seek out and free the oppressed?
And that you should remove every wrong?
RF ISA 58:7 And to give to the famishing food?
The poor wanderers to bring to your house?
And those whom you see naked to clothe?
And to hide not yourself from your kind?—
RF ISA 58:8 Then your light would break forth like the morn,
And your wings up on high would spread out,
And before you your bounty would march,
With the LORD'S power guarding your rear.
RF ISA 58:9 You should call, and the LORD would reply,
You should shout, and He answer, I'm here!'
If oppression you cast from your breast,
And scorn's finger, and slandering lie.
RF ISA 58:10 When you share with the hungry your bread,
And you comfort the body in pain,
Your light will shoot out from the dark,
And your sunset to splendour be turned.
RF ISA 58:11 And THE LIFE would for ever direct,
And in Deserts your body refresh,
And the stiffness remove from your joints,
And make you like a field by a brook,
And near rippling unfailing streams.
RF ISA 58:12 Then your offspring shall build up the Ruins,
And raise old foundations anew,
And call you the Repairer of walls,'
The Restorer of safety to roads! '
RF ISA 58:13 If on Sabbath you hold back your foot,
And make My Holy Day your delight,
And declare that My Rest is a pleasure,
To worship the LORD with respect,
And by forming your path do it honour,
Not seeking your pleasure or trade.
RF ISA 58:14 Thus delighting yourself with the LORD,
You shall ride on the Heights of the Earth,
And feed on the portion of Jacob, your father,"
So, the LORD'S mouth has declared!
