57:11 Whom are you worried about?
Whom do you fear, that you would act so deceitfully
and not remember me
or think about me? 1
Because I have been silent for so long, 2
you are not afraid of me. 3
58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want? 4
Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, 5
bowing their heads like a reed
and stretching out 6 on sackcloth and ashes?
Is this really what you call a fast,
a day that is pleasing to the Lord?
58:12 Your perpetual ruins will be rebuilt; 7
you will reestablish the ancient foundations.
You will be called, ‘The one who repairs broken walls,
the one who makes the streets inhabitable again.’ 8
65:20 Never again will one of her infants live just a few days 9
or an old man die before his time. 10
Indeed, no one will die before the age of a hundred, 11
anyone who fails to reach 12 the age of a hundred will be considered cursed.
