Isaiah 54:1

Context
Zion Will Be Secure

54:1 “Shout for joy, O barren one who has not given birth!

Give a joyful shout and cry out, you who have not been in labor!

For the children of the desolate one are more numerous

than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 58:5

Context

58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want? 1 

Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, 2 

bowing their heads like a reed

and stretching out 3  on sackcloth and ashes?

Is this really what you call a fast,

a day that is pleasing to the Lord?

1 tn Heb “choose” (so NASB, NRSV); NAB “wish.”

2 tn Heb “a day when man humbles himself.” The words “Do I want” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Or “making [their] bed.”
