Isaiah 58:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Yet they (A)seek Me day by day and find pleasure in knowing My ways,
As a nation that has done (B)righteousness
And (C)has not forsaken the judgment of their God.
They ask Me for righteous judgments;
They find pleasure in (D)the nearness of God.
3 ‘Why have we (E)fasted and You do not see?
Why have we afflicted our souls and You do not know?’
Behold, on the (F)day of your fast you find your desire,
And oppress all your workers.
4 Behold, you fast for contention and (G)quarreling and to strike with a wicked fist.
You do not fast like you do today to (H)make your voice heard on high.
Isaiah 58:2-4
New International Version
2 For day after day they seek(A) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(B) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(C) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(D) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(E) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(F)
