Isaiah 58:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 58:8

6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To ^aloose the bonds of wickedness,
^bTo undo the¹ heavy burdens,
^cTo let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?

7 Is it not ^ato share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are¹ cast out;
^bWhen you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from ^cyour own flesh?

8 ^aThen your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
^bThe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

9 The¹n you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and ^aspeaking wickedness,

10 If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your¹ darkness shall be as the noonday.

11 The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Isaiah 58:6-12

In verses 6 through 12 He tells them to take away the yoke, the undue burdens that they are placing on their brethren. Brethren, they were even neglecting their own families. Stop pointing the finger and speaking wickedness. Stop fighting. Now the commentators might think that verses 13 and 14 do not belong here, but I think they should think again, because, think of it, this might actually be the root of the problem. Let us go ahead and read verses 13 and 14.
