Isaiah 58:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

58 “Cry out loudly,^[a] don’t hold back!
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Tell My people their transgression
and the house of Jacob their sins.
² They seek Me day after day
and delight to know My ways,
like a nation that does what is right
and does not abandon the justice of their God.
They ask Me for righteous judgments;
they delight in the nearness of God.”^(A)
3 “Why have we fasted, but You have not seen?^(B)
We have denied ourselves, but You haven’t noticed!”^[b]
“Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast,
and oppress all your workers.^(C)
