Isaiah 58:1 – Isaiah implores us to be a faithful witness to God’s word and show others that this turning away from God and His precepts is detrimental to all our lives.
Isa 58:4 – (Matthew Henry) “A fast is a day to afflict the soul; if it do not express a genuine sorrow for sin, and do not promote a real mortification of sin, it is not a fast; …The fast that God has chosen consists in reforming our lives and undoing what we have done amiss”

Isaiah 59:4 – They don’t want justice because they are unjust, they don’t want truth because they speak lies.
Isaiah 59:14 – Is Isaiah prophesying about today’s time? Is today’s time the always time? The time where evil rules and the righteous are chastised?
