Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 58 of Isaiah. The fasting God accepts consists not merely of outward affliction, but of freeing the oppressed, sharing bread, and caring for the needy. Isaiah dismantles a false separation between worship and social justice. When the people practice mercy, light, restoration, and God’s presence are described as consequences of authentic worship.

Sie suchen mich täglich und wollen meine Wege wissen wie ein Volk, das Gerechtigkeit schon getan und das Recht ihres Gottes nicht verlassen hätte. Sie fordern mich zu Recht und wollen mit ihrem Gott rechten.
Que me buscan cada día, y quieren saber mis caminos, como gente que hubiese obrado justicia, y que no hubiese dejado el derecho de su Dios: pregúntanme derechos de justicia, y quieren acercarse a Dios.
Tous les jours ils me cherchent, Ils veulent connaître mes voies; Comme une nation qui aurait pratiqué la justice Et n'aurait pas abandonné la loi de son Dieu, Ils me demandent des arrêts de justice, Ils désirent l'approche de Dieu. -
Ben mi cercano ogni giorno, e prendono piacere di saper le mie vie, a guisa di gente che si adoperi a giustizia, e non abbia lasciata la Legge dell’Iddio suo; mi domandano de’ giudicii di giustizia, prendono piacere di accostarsi a Dio
Todavia me procuram cada dia, tomam prazer em saber os meus caminhos, como um povo que pratica justiça, e não deixa o direito do seu Deus; perguntam-me pelos direitos da justiça, e têm prazer em se chegarem a Deus,
他們天天尋求我, 樂意明白我的道, 好像行義的國家, 未離棄它的上帝的典章; 他們向我求問公義的判詞, 喜悅親近上帝。
