Chap. LVIII.
note
God commandeth the Prophet, to crie vnto the sinful people vehemently, and
incessantly to kepe the law, not only in shew and pretence, but sincerely,
leauing their owne wils, and seeking Gods wil: 9. so they shal receiue
their good desires, and reward of wel doing.
1 Crie, note cease not, as a trumpet exalt thy voice, and tel
my people their wicked doinges, and the house of Iacob
their sinnes.
2 For me in deede they seeke from day to day,
and they wil know my waies, as a nation that hath done iustice,
and hath not forsaken the iudgement of their God: they
aske of me the iudgements of iustice: they wil approch to
God.
3 Why haue we fasted, and thou hast not regarded: haue
we humbled our soules, and thou hast not knowen? Behold
in the day of your fast your owne wil is found, and you exact
of al your detters.
4 Behold you fast to debates and contentions,
and strike with the fist impiously. Doe not fast as vntil
this day, that your crie may be heard on high.
5 09Q0305 Is this
such a fast, as I haue chosen: for a man by the day to afflict
his soule? Is this it, to winde his head about like a circle, and
to spread sackcloth and ashes? wilt thou cal this a fast, and a
day acceptable to the Lord?
6 Is not this rather the fast that I
haue chosen? Dissolue the bands of impietie, loose the bundels
that ouerlode, dismisse them free that are broken, and breake
in sunder euerie burden.
7 Breake thy bread to the hungrie,
and the needie, and herberles bring in into thy house: when
thou shalt see the naked, couer him, and despise not thy flesh.
8 Then shal thy light breake forth as the morning, and thy
health shal sooner arise, & thy iustice shal goe before thy face,
and the glorie of our Lord shal embrace thee.
9 Then shalt
thou inuocate, and our Lord wil heare: thou shalt crie, and he
wil say: Loe here I am. If thou wilt take away the cheine out
of the middes of thee, and cease note to stretch out the finger,
and to speake that which profiteth not.
10 When thou shalt
powre out thy soule to the hungrie, and shalt fil the afflicted
soule, thy light shal arise vp in darkenes, and thy darkenes
shal be as the noone day.
11 And our Lord wil geue thee rest
-- --
alwayes, and wil fil thy soule with brightnes, and deliuer thy
bones, and thou shalt be as a watered garden, and as a fountaine
of waters, whose waters shal not fayle.
12 And the deserts
of the worlds shal be builded in thee: thou shalt rayse
vp the fundations of generation and generation: and thou
shalt be called the builder of the hedges, turning the pathes
into rest.
13 If thou turne away thy foote from the Sabbath,
from doing thy wil in my holie day, and cal the Sabbath delicate,
and the holie of our Lord glorious, and glorifie him,
whiles thou doest not thine owne wayes, and thy wil be not
found, to speake a word:
14 Then shalt thou be delighted vpon
the Lord, & I wil lift thee vp aboue the heightes of the earth,
& wil feede thee with the inheritance of Iacob thy father. For
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.
