5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen,a day for a man to humble himself?Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush,and to spread out sackcloth and ashes under him?Will you call this a fastand an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen:to loose the bonds of wickedness,to undo the heavy burdens,and to let the oppressed go free,and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungryand bring the poor who are outcasts into your house?When you see the naked, to cover himand not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth as the morning,and your healing shall spring forth quickly,and your righteousness shall go before you;the glory of the Lord shall be your reward.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord shall answer;you shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take away the yoke from your midst,the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 and if you give yourself to the hungryand satisfy the afflicted soul,then your light shall rise in obscurity,and your darkness shall become as the noonday.
11 And the Lord shall guide you continually,and satisfy your soul in drought,and strengthen your bones;and you shall be like a watered garden,and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
