THE SECOND PART. Isai. LVIII. 13, 14.
IF thou from the profaning of † the Sabbath turn [away] thy Foot: not doing of thy pleasure on † what is [ordained] my Holy day; † But if the Sabbath thou esteem † [and keep] as a Delight unto † the Blessed JEHOVAH's Holy one, † even [Him who's] the Victorious One; † And if thereon thou honour Him, † not doing as thou'rt used [to do,] † nor pleasing thy own humour now, † nor Speaking a wrong word [thereon.] †
IF thou from the profaning of † the Sabbath turn [away] thy Foot: not doing of thy pleasure on † what is [ordain'd] my Holy day; † But if the Sabbath thou esteem † [and keep] as a Delight unto † the Bless'd JEHOVAH's Holy one, † ev'n [Him who's] the Victorious One; † And if thereon thou honour Him, † not doing as thou'rt us'd [to do,] † nor pleasing thy own humour now, † nor Speaking a wrong word [thereon.] †
Then thou shalt satisfy thy self † [Ever] in the ETERNAL God; † And I will make thee Ride upon † High [and Rich] places of the Earth. † I will thee with the portion of † Jacob thy Father [always] feed; † For so now speaks the very mouth † of the [True and] ETERNAL God. †
