O Verdadeiro Jejum

1 ā€œGrite alto, nĆ£o se contenha!Levante a voz como trombeta.Anuncie ao meu povo a rebeliĆ£o delee Ć  comunidade de Jacó, os seus pecados.
2 Pois dia a dia me procuram;parecem desejosos de conhecer os meus caminhos,como se fossem uma nação que faz o que é direitoe que não abandonou os mandamentos do seu Deus.Pedem-me decisões justase parecem desejosos de que Deus se aproxime deles.
3 ā€˜Por que jejuamos’, dizem,ā€˜e nĆ£o o viste?Por que nos humilhamos,e nĆ£o reparaste?ā€™ā€œContudo, no dia do seu jejum vocĆŖs fazem o que Ć© do agrado de vocĆŖse exploram os seus empregados.
4 Seu jejum termina em discussão e rixae em brigas de socos brutais.Vocês não podem jejuar como fazem hojee esperar que a sua voz seja ouvida no alto.
5 SerĆ” esse o jejum que escolhi,que apenas um dia o homem se humilhe,incline a cabeƧa como o juncoe se deite sobre pano de saco e cinzas?Ɖ isso que vocĆŖs chamam jejum,um dia aceitĆ”vel ao SENHOR?
6 ā€œO jejum que desejo nĆ£o Ć© este:soltar as correntes da injustiƧa,desatar as cordas do jugo,pĆ“r em liberdade os oprimidose romper todo jugo?
7 Não é partilhar sua comida com o faminto,abrigar o pobre desamparado,vestir o nu que você encontrou,e não recusar ajuda ao próximo?
8 Aí sim, a sua luz irromperÔ como a alvorada,e prontamente surgirÔ a sua cura;a sua retidão irÔ adiante de você,e a glória do SENHOR estarÔ na sua retaguarda.
9 AĆ­ sim, vocĆŖ clamarĆ” ao SENHOR, e ele responderĆ”;vocĆŖ gritarĆ” por socorro, e ele dirĆ”: Aqui estou.ā€œSe vocĆŖ eliminar do seu meio o jugo opressor,o dedo acusador e a falsidade do falar;
10 se com renúncia própria você beneficiar os famintose satisfizer o anseio dos aflitos,então a sua luz despontarÔ nas trevas,e a sua noite serÔ como o meio-dia.
11 O SENHOR o guiarÔ constantemente;satisfarÔ os seus desejos numa terra ressequida pelo sole fortalecerÔ os seus ossos.Você serÔ como um jardim bem regado,como uma fonte cujas Ôguas nunca faltam.
12 Seu povo reconstruirĆ” as velhas ruĆ­nase restaurarĆ” os alicerces antigos;vocĆŖ serĆ” chamado reparador de muros,restaurador de ruas e moradias.
13 ā€œSe vocĆŖ vigiar seus pĆ©s para nĆ£o profanar o sĆ”badoe para nĆ£o fazer o que bem quiser em meu santo dia;se vocĆŖ chamar delĆ­cia o sĆ”badoe honroso o santo dia do SENHOR,e se honrĆ”-lo, deixando de seguir seu próprio caminho,de fazer o que bem quiser e de falar futilidades,
14 entĆ£o vocĆŖ terĆ” no SENHOR a sua alegria,e eu farei com que vocĆŖ cavalgue nos altos da terrae se banqueteie com a heranƧa de Jacó, seu paiā€.Ɖ o SENHOR quem fala.

Isaías 58 Commentary

Chapter 58

Hypocrisy reproved. (1,2) A counterfeit and a true fast, with promises to real godliness, and, (3-12) to the keeping the sabbath. (13,14)

Verses 1-2 The Holy Spirit had hypocrites of every age in view. Self-love and timid Christians may say, Spare thyself; dislike to the cross and other motives will say, "Spare the rich and powerful;" but God says, "Spare not:" and we must obey God, not men. We all need earnestly to pray for God's assistance in examining ourselves. Men may go far toward heaven, yet come short; and they may go to hell with a good reputation.

Verses 3-12 A fast is a day to afflict the soul; if it does not express true sorrow for sin, and does not promote the putting away of sin, it is not a fast. These professors had shown sorrow on stated or occasioned fasts. But they indulged pride, covetousness, and malignant passions. To be liberal and merciful is more acceptable to God than mere fasting, which, without them, is vain and hypocritical. Many who seem humble in God's house, are hard at home, and harass their families. But no man's faith justifies, which does not work by love. Yet persons, families, neighbourhoods, churches, or nations, show repentance and sorrow for sin, by keeping a fast sincerely, and, from right motives, repenting, and doing good works. The heavy yoke of sin and oppression must be removed. As sin and sorrow dry the bones and weaken the strongest human constitution; so the duties of kindness and charity strengthen and refresh both body and mind. Those who do justly and love mercy, shall have the comfort, even in this world. Good works will bring the blessing of God, provided they are done from love to God and man, and wrought in the soul by the Holy Spirit.

Verses 13-14 The sabbath is a sign between God and his professing people; his appointing it is a sign of his favour to them; and their observing it is a sign of their obedience to him. We must turn from travelling on that day; from doing our pleasure on that holy day, without the control and restraint of conscience; or from indulging in the pleasures of sense. On sabbath days we must not follow our callings, or our pleasures. In all we say and do, we must put a difference between this day and other days. Even in Old Testament times the sabbath was called the Lord's day, and is fitly called so still; and for a further reason, it is the Lord Christ's day, ( Revelation 1:10 ) . If we thus remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, we shall have the comfort and profit of it, and have reason to say, It is good to draw near to God.

Chapter Summary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 58

From the wicked and antichristian party the prophet is bid to turn to the professors of the true religion, and openly, boldly, and sharply, reprove them for their sins, particularly their hypocrisy and formality in worship, Isa 58:1,2, who yet were angry, and complained that the Lord took no notice of their religious services, particularly their fasting, which is put for the whole; the reason of which was, because they did not fast aright; it was attended with much cruelty, strife, and wickedness, and only lay in external appearances, Isa 58:3-5, when they are directed how to keep a fast, and are shown what a true fast is, and what works and services are acceptable to God, Isa 58:6,7 on doing of which, light, health, prosperity, and hearing of their prayers, are promised, provided the yoke of oppression is taken away, and compassion shown to the poor, Isa 58:8-10, yea, a very fruitful and flourishing estate of the soul is promised, and a rebuilding of waste places, delight in the Lord, and great honour and dignity; so be it that the sabbath of the Lord, or public worship, is attended to in a proper manner, Isa 58:11-14.
