Isaiah 58:6 in Context — Isaiah 58

4 He aquí que para contiendas y debates ayunáis, y para herir con el puño inicuamente; no ayunéis como hoy, para que vuestra voz sea oída en lo alto.

5 ¿Es tal el ayuno que yo escogí, que de día aflija el hombre su alma, que encorve su cabeza como junco, y haga cama de saco y de ceniza? ¿Llamaréis esto ayuno, y día agradable á Jehová?

6 ¿No es antes el ayuno que yo escogí, desatar las ligaduras de impiedad, deshacer los haces de opresión, y dejar ir libres á los quebrantados, y que rompáis todo yugo?

7 ¿No es que partas tu pan con el hambriento, y á los pobres errantes metas en casa; que cuando vieres al desnudo, lo cubras, y no te escondas de tu carne?

8 Entonces nacerá tu luz como el alba, y tu salud se dejará ver presto; é irá tu justicia delante de ti, y la gloria de Jehová será tu retaguardia.
