Yesaya 58:6
Konteks58:6 No, this is the kind of fast I want. 1
I want you 2 to remove the sinful chains,
to tear away the ropes of the burdensome yoke,
to set free the oppressed, 3
and to break every burdensome yoke.
Yesaya 58:5
Konteks58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want? 4
Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, 5
bowing their heads like a reed
and stretching out 6 on sackcloth and ashes?
Is this really what you call a fast,
a day that is pleasing to the Lord?
