beasts; and I delight not in the
blood of bullocks, or of lambs
or of goats
(12) When ye come to
appear before me, who hath
required this at your hand, to
treat my courts?
(13) Bring no more vain
obligations; incense is an
abomination unto me; the new
moons and Sabbath, calling of
assemblies, I cannot away
with; it is iniquity even the
solemn meetings
(14) Your new moon and
your appointed feast my soul
hateth they are a trouble onto
me; I am weary to bear them.
(15) And when ye spread
forth your hands, I will hide
mine eyes from you yea, when
ye make many prayers, I will
not hear ; your hands are full
of blood
(16) Wash you, make you
clean put away the evil of your
doing from before my eye;
cease to do evil
(17) Learn to do well; seek
judgment, relieve the
oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for widow

reason together, said the lord
through yours sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as with
as snow; though they be red
like crimson they shall be as
wool

and debate, and to smite with
the fist of wickedness; ye shall
not fast as ye do this day, to
make your voice to be heard on
high
5) Is it such a fast that I have
chosen? A day for a man afflict
his soul? Is ti to bow down his
head as a bulrush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him?

acceptable day to the LORD?
6) Is not this fast that I have
chosen? To loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens and to let the oppressed
go free, and that ye break every
yoke?

the hungry, and that thou bring
the poor that are cast out to thy

LORD shall answer; thou shalt
cry, and he shall say, here I am if
thou take away from the midst of
thee the yoke, the putting forth of
the finger, and speaking vanity;

soul to the hungry, and satisfy
the afflicted soul; then shall thy
light rise in obscurity, and thy
darkness be as the noonday

thee continually, and satisfy thy
soul in drought, and make fat thy
bones; and thou shalt be like a
