If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:

All Commentaries on Isaiah 58:13 Go To Isaiah 58

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Sabbath, doing no work, or refraining from the violation of festivals. Delightful. We must not think the sabbath of the Lord a loss: (Amos viii. 5.) but rejoice in praising him, Psalm xlv. 11. (Calmet) A word, or to apply to God's word. (Grotius) Pious reading on holidays is the duty of all who have an opportunity. (Haydock)
