And to the house of Jacob their sins.

They delight in the nearness of God.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 58:3 -

The [fn]pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness,

And satisfy the [fn]need of the afflicted,

Then your light will rise in darkness,

And your gloom will become like midday.

The restorer of the [fn]streets in which to dwell.

Keeping the Sabbath

“If, because of the Sabbath, you restrain your foot

From doing as you wish on My holy day,

From seeking your own pleasure

And speaking your own word,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 58:14 -

Then you will take delight in the LORD,

And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;

And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
