Isaiah 58:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible

4 Behold, you fast for contention and (A)quarreling and to strike with a wicked fist.
You do not fast like you do today to (B)make your voice heard on high.
5 Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to afflict himself?
Is it for bowing [a]one’s head like a reed
And for spreading out (C)sackcloth and ashes as a bed?
Will you call this a fast, even an (D)acceptable day to Yahweh?
6 Is this not the fast which I choose,
To (E)loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To release the bands of [b]the yoke,
And to (F)let the oppressed go free
And (G)break every [c]yoke?
