Isaiah 58:5-7

5 ^jIs such the fast that I choose,
^ka day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
^lto loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps ^mof the yoke,
to let the oppressed ^{▼▼Or bruised} go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not ^oto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^pand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
