Isaiah 58

YHWH rebukes Israel for hypocritical fasting that involves exploitation, strife, and self-interest rather than true humility, commanding instead to loose bonds of wickedness, free the oppressed, share bread with the hungry, shelter the homeless, and clothe the naked.[1][2][3] He promises that such righteousness will bring light in darkness, healing, guidance, restoration of ruins, and delight in keeping the Sabbath holy without personal pursuits.[1][2][6]
