Isaiah 58:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
58 1 The office of God’s ministers. 2 The works of the hypocrites. 6 The fast of the faithful. 13 Of the true Sabbath.
1 Cry [a]aloud, spare not: lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they [b]seek me daily, and will know my ways, even as a nation that did righteously, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice: they will draw near unto God, saying,
3 [c]Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest it not? we have punished ourselves, and thou regardest it not. Behold, in the day of your fast you will seek [d]your will, and require all your debts.

Isaiah 58:1-3
New International Version
True Fasting
58 “Shout it aloud,(A) do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.(B)
Declare to my people their rebellion(C)
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.(D)
2 For day after day they seek(E) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(F) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(G) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(H) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(I) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(J)
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please(K)
and exploit all your workers.
Isaiah 58:1-3
King James Version
58 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

Reina Valera Contemporánea
El ayuno verdadero
58 «¡Grita a voz en cuello y sin descanso! ¡Levanta la voz como una trompeta, y denuncia la rebelión de mi pueblo! ¡Denuncia el pecado de la casa de Jacob! 2 Dicen que me buscan todos los días, y que quieren conocer mis caminos, ¡como si fueran gente que practicara la justicia y que nunca hubiera abandonado las enseñanzas de su Dios! Me piden emitir juicios justos, dicen que quieren acercarse a mí, 3 y me preguntan: “¿Qué sentido tiene que ayunemos, si no nos haces caso? ¿Para qué afligir nuestro cuerpo, si tú no te das por enterado?” Pero resulta que cuando ayunan sólo buscan su propia satisfacción, ¡y mientras tanto oprimen a todos sus trabajadores!
