Isaiah 58 · Grade 3

A Watered Garden

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Isaiah, "Lift up your voice like a trumpet!" The people fasted, but they were also unkind to their workers and quarreled.

God asked if real fasting was this: "to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house?" God wanted kindness, not just skipping meals.

God promised, "Then your light will break out as the morning." "Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer." "You will be like a watered garden."

Isaiah 58 · Grade 4

Isn't This the Fast I Have Chosen?

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 58 begins with a loud call: "Cry aloud! Don't spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet!" The people looked religious. They fasted and asked, "Why have we fasted... and you don't see?" But on fast days they did whatever they wanted, made their workers work hard, and quarreled.

God explains the fast he wants: "to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free." He adds, "Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house?" God cares more about how we treat people than about showy religion. In the New Testament, Jesus taught that serving the hungry is serving him (Matthew 25:35-40).

God gives beautiful promises to those who care for others: "Then your light will break out as the morning." "Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’" "You will be like a watered garden." God also asks them to "call the Sabbath a delight."

Isaiah 58 · Grade 5

Here I Am

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 58 confronts religion without righteousness. The people "seek me daily, and delight to know my ways," and ask why God ignores their fasting. God answers that their fasts were marked by self-interest and exploitation: "in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers." Fasting ended in quarrels. In the New Testament, Jesus criticized showy fasting (Matthew 6:16-18) and religious leaders who neglected justice and mercy (Matthew 23:23).

The true fast (verses 6-7) is social and practical: loosing the bonds of wickedness, freeing the oppressed, sharing bread with the hungry, sheltering the homeless poor, clothing the needy, and not hiding "from your own flesh." In the New Testament, Jesus read Isaiah 61, which echoes the language of freeing the oppressed in 58:6, in the synagogue at Nazareth (Luke 4:18).

The promises (verses 8-14) mirror the people's complaint. They had asked why God did not see; now "you will call, and Yahweh will answer." Light will break out, God's glory will be their "rear guard" as in the Exodus, and they will be "like a spring of water whose waters don't fail." They will be called "Repairer of the Breach." The Sabbath, honored rather than used for business, becomes a delight, and "then you will delight yourself in Yahweh."
