Esias 58:6

Listen to Esias 58:6
6 I have not chosen such a fast, saith the Lord; but do thou loose every burden of iniquity, do thou untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

Esias 58:6 In-Context

4 If ye fast for quarrels and strifes, and smite the lowly with fists, wherefore do ye fast to me as this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?
5 I have not chosen this fast, nor a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though thou shouldest bend down thy neck as a ring, and spread under thee sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall ye call a fast acceptable.
6 I have not chosen such a fast, saith the Lord; but do thou loose every burden of iniquity, do thou untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.
7 Break thy bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to thy house: if thou seest one naked, clothe , and thou shalt not disregard the relations of thine own seed.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily spring forth: and thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of God shall compass thee.
