Isaiah 58:5 in Context — Isaiah 58
3 [Eles dizem:] Por que nós jejuamos, e tu não dás atenção a isso? [Por que] afligimos nossas almas, e tu não o reconheces?Eis que nos dia em que jejuais, continuais a buscar [apenas] aquilo que vos agrada, e sobrecarregais todos os que trabalham para vós.
4 Eis que jejuais para brigas e discussões, e para dardes socos de maldade; não jejueis como [fazeis] hoje, para que vossa vossa voz seja ouvida no alto.
5 Seria este o jejum que eu escolheria, que o homem um dia aflija sua alma, incline sua cabeça como o junco, e estenda debaixo [de si] saco e cinza? Chamarias tu a isto jejum e dia agradável ao SENHOR?
6 Por acaso não é este o jejum que eu escolheria: que soltes os nós de perversidade, que desfaças as amarras do jugo, e que libertes aos oprimidos, e quebres todo jugo?
7 Por acaso não é [também] que repartas teu pão com o faminto, e aos pobres desamparados recolhas em casa, [e] vendo ao nu, que o cubras, e não te escondas de tua carne?
