Keeping the Sabbath

13 “If, because of the Sabbath, you (A)restrain your foot
From doing as you wish on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a (B)pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your (C)own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And (D)speaking your own word,
14 Then you will take (E)delight in the Lord,
And I will make you ride (F)on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
For the (G)mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

13 If you hold your foot back from the Sabbath,
    from doing your affairs on my holy day,[a]
if[b] you call the Sabbath a pleasure,
    the holy day of Yahweh honorable,
if[c] you honor him more than[d] doing your ways,
    than finding your affairs[e] and speaking a word,
14 then you shall take your pleasure in[f] Yahweh,
    and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth,
    and I will feed you the heritage of Jacob your ancestor,[g]

for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
