Isaiah 58:5-7

New International Version

⁵Is this the kind of fast^(A) I have chosen,
    only a day for people to humble^(B) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed^(C)
    and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?^(D)
Is that what you call a fast,
    a day acceptable to the Lord?

⁶“Is not this the kind of fasting^(E) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice^(F)
    and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed^(G) free
    and break every yoke?^(H)
⁷Is it not to share your food with the hungry^(I)
    and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter^(J)—
when you see the naked, to clothe^(K) them,
    and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?^(L)
