Isaiah 58:7 in context

  1. 5Is this the fast that I have chosen?
    A day for a man to humble his soul?
    Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
    and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself?

    and an acceptable day to Yahweh?
  2. 6“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen:
    to release the bonds of wickedness,
    to undo the straps of the yoke,
    to let the oppressed go free,
    and that you break every yoke?
  3. 7Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry,

    that you cover him;
    and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
  4. 8Then your light will break out as the morning,
    and your healing will appear quickly;
    then your righteousness shall go before you,
    and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.
  5. 9Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer.
    You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’

    and speaking wickedly;
