(1) Cry from the depth, says God-do not hold back, lift up your voice like the shofar!
Tell my people their transgression, and the House of Jacob their sin.
(2) Yes, they seek Me daily, as though eager to learn My ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right, and had not abandoned God's law. They ask of Me the right way, eager for God's nearness:
(3) They say: “Why did we fast, and You do not see it? We afflict ourselves, and You do not know it?" Because even on your fast day you think only of desire, while oppressing all who work for you.
(4) Because your fasting is filled with strife,
and with callous fist you strike. No, your fasting this day will not lift up your voice before heaven.
(5) Is this the fast I desire? A day to afflict body and soul? Bowing your head like a reed, covering yourself with sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast-a day worthy of the favor of Adonai?
(6) Is not this the fast I desire-to break the bonds of injustice and remove the heavy yoke; to let the oppressed go free and release all those enslaved?
(7) Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and to take the homeless poor into your home, and never to neglect your own flesh and blood?
(8) Then shall your light burst forth like the dawn, and your wounds shall quickly heal,
your Righteous One leading the way before you, the Presence of Adonai guarding you from behind.
(9) Then, when you call, Adonai will answer, and, when you cry, will respond
"I am here."
If you remove the chains of oppression, the menacing hand, the malicious word;
(10) if you offer your compassion to the hungry and satisfy the suffering- then shall your light shine through the darkness, and your night become bright as noon;
(11) Adonai will guide you always, slake your thirst in parched places, give strength to your bones. You shall be like a well-watered garden, an unfailing spring.
(12) From you they will rebuild ancient ruins, lay foundations for ages to come.
And you shall be called "the one who mends the breach and brings back the streets for dwelling."
(13) If you cease to trample Shabbat, stop pursuing your affairs on My holy day; if you call Shabbat "a delight," the holy day of Adonai "honored"; and if you honor God by not doing business or speaking of everyday matters-
(14) then shall you take pure delight in Adonai. I will lift up your journey on earth to the highest of places, and nourish you from the heritage of your father Jacob.
For thus spoke Adonai!
(9) You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt.
(8) Speak up for the mute,
For the rights of all the unfortunate.
He who shows pity for the needy honors Him.
For he gives of his bread to the poor.
Her hands are stretched out to the needy.
The man who holds fast to it:
Who keeps the sabbath and does not profane it,
And stays his hand from doing any evil.
