Isa 58:2 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.

lāmmāh ṣṣamənû wəlō’ rā’îṯā ‘innînû nap̱əšēnû wəlō’ ṯēḏā‘ hēn bəyôm ṣōməḵem timəṣə’û-ḥēp̱eṣ wəḵāl-‘aṣṣəḇêḵem tinəgōśû

Isa 58:3 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.

hēn lərîḇ ûmaṣṣāh tāṣûmû ûləhakkôṯ bə’eg̱ərōp̱ reša‘ lō’-ṯāṣûmû ḵayyôm ləhašəmîa‘ bammārôm qôləḵem

Isa 58:4 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.

hăḵāzeh yihəyeh ṣôm ’eḇəḥārēhû yôm ‘annôṯ ’āḏām nap̱əšô hălāḵōp̱ kə’ag̱əmōn rō’šô wəśaq wā’ēp̱er yaṣṣîa‘ hălāzeh tiqərā’-ṣôm wəyôm rāṣôn layhwāh

Isa 58:5 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?

hălô’ zeh ṣôm ’eḇəḥārēhû pattēaḥ ḥarəṣubbôṯ reša‘ hattēr ’ăg̱uddôṯ môṭāh wəšallaḥ rəṣûṣîm ḥāp̱əšîm wəḵāl-môṭāh tənattēqû

Isa 58:6 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?

hălô’ p̱ārōs lārā‘ēḇ laḥəmeḵā wa‘ăniyyîm mərûḏîm tāḇî’ ḇāyiṯ kî-ṯirə’eh ‘ārōm wəḵissîṯô ûmibbəśārəḵā lō’ ṯiṯə‘allām

Isa 58:7 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?

’āz yibbāqa‘ kaššaḥar ’ôreḵā wa’ăruḵāṯəḵā məhērāh ṯiṣəmāḥ wəhālaḵ ləp̱āneyḵā ṣiḏəqeḵā kəḇôḏ yəhwāh ya’asəp̱eḵā

Isa 58:8 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.

’āz tiqərā’ wayhwāh ya‘ăneh təšawwa‘ wəyō’mar hinnēnî ’im-tāsîr mittôḵəḵā môṭāh šəlaḥ ’eṣəba‘ wəḏabber-’āwen

Isa 58:9 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;

wəṯāp̱ēq lārā‘ēḇ nap̱əšeḵā wənep̱eš na‘ănāh taśəbîa‘ wəzāraḥ baḥōšeḵ ’ôreḵā wa’ăp̱ēlāṯəḵā kaṣṣāhŏrāyim

Isa 58:10 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 noon day:

wənāḥăḵā yəhwāh tāmîḏ wəhiśəbîa‘ bəṣaḥəṣāḥôṯ nap̱əšeḵā wə‘aṣəmōṯeyḵā yaḥălîṣ wəhāyîṯā kəg̱an rāweh ûḵəmôṣā’ mayim ’ăšer lō’-yəḵazzəḇû mêmāyw

Isa 58:11 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.

ûḇānû mimməḵā ḥārəḇôṯ ‘ôlām môsəḏê ḏôr-wāḏôr təqômēm wəqōrā’ ləḵā gōḏēr pereṣ məšōḇēḇ nəṯîḇôṯ lāšāḇeṯ

Isa 58:12 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.

’im-tāšîḇ miššabbāṯ rag̱əleḵā ‘ăśôṯ ḥăp̱āṣeyḵā bəyôm qāḏəšî wəqārā’ṯā laššabbāṯ ‘ōneg̱ liqəḏôš yəhwāh məḵubbāḏ wəḵibbaḏətô mē‘ăśôṯ dərāḵeyḵā mimməṣô’ ḥep̱əṣəḵā wəḏabbēr dāḇār

Isa 58:13 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:

’āz ’āz tiṯə‘annag̱ tiṯə‘annag̱ ‘al-‘al-yəhwāh yəhwāh wəhirəkaḇətîḵā wəhirəkaḇətîḵā bāmŏṯê ‘al-bāmŏṯê ’āreṣ ’āreṣ wəha’ăḵalətîḵā wəha’ăḵalətîḵā naḥălaṯ naḥălaṯ ya‘ăqōḇ ’āḇîḵā ya‘ăqōḇ kî ’āḇîḵā pî kî yəhwāh pî yəhwāh dibbēr dibbēr

Isa 58:14 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.
