Isaiah 58:14

Compare all

12 Those from among you
^aShall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of¹ Streets to Dwell In.

13 “If ^ayou turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,

14 ^aThen you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ^bride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
^cThe mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Isaiah 58:14

Then shalt thou delight thyself - If all fasts and religious observances be carried on in the spirit and manner recommended above, God' s blessing will attend every ordinance. But in public fasts, prescribed not in the Book of God, but by the rulers of nations in general (very unfit persons) care should be taken that the cause is good, and that God' s blessing may be safely implored in it.

France has lately fasted and prayed that they might be able to subjugate Spain, restore and establish the horrible inquisition, and utterly destroy all the liberties of the people! Is this such a fast as God hath chosen? - a.d. 1823.
