Isaiah 58:6 in Context — Isaiah 58

4 Voici, vous jeûnez pour disputer et vous quereller, Pour frapper méchamment du poing; Vous ne jeûnez pas comme le veut ce jour, Pour que votre voix soit entendue en haut.

5 Est-ce là le jeûne auquel je prends plaisir, Un jour où l’homme humilie son âme? Courber la tête comme un jonc, Et se coucher sur le sac et la cendre, Est-ce là ce que tu appelleras un jeûne, Un jour agréable à l’Éternel?

6 Voici le jeûne auquel je prends plaisir: Détache les chaînes de la méchanceté, Dénoue les liens de la servitude, Renvoie libres les opprimés, Et que l’on rompe toute espèce de joug;

7 Partage ton pain avec celui qui a faim, Et fais entrer dans ta maison les malheureux sans asile; Si tu vois un homme nu, couvre-le, Et ne te détourne pas de ton semblable.

8 Alors ta lumière poindra comme l’aurore, Et ta guérison germera promptement; Ta justice marchera devant toi, Et la gloire de l’Éternel t’accompagnera.
