ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

Isaiah cries out thus: "Cry aloud with strength, and do not spare; lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities. They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, like a people that has practiced righteousness and has not forsaken the judgment of God."
"They now ask me for righteous judgment and desire to draw near to God, saying: 'Why have we fasted and you have not seen it? Why have we afflicted our souls and you have taken no notice?' Because in the days of your fasting you pursue your own desires, and oppress all who are under your power; behold, you fast for strife and quarrels, and you strike the lowly with your fists. Why do you fast for me as you do this day, that your voice may be heard in clamor?"
"This is not the fast that I have chosen, nor a day for a man to afflict his soul. Even though you bow your neck like a ring, and spread sackcloth and ashes beneath you, not even so shall you call it a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord. This is not the fast I have chosen, says the Lord; but loose every bond of injustice, undo the knots of forced contracts, send away the broken in freedom, and tear up every unjust agreement."
"Break your bread to the hungry, and bring the poor who are without shelter into your house; if you see one naked, clothe him, and do not disregard those of your own flesh and blood. Then your light shall break forth early, and your healing shall speedily spring up, and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall surround you. Then you shall call, and God will listen to you; while you are still speaking he will say, 'Behold, I am here.'"
"If you take away from your midst the yoke and the pointing of the finger and the word of murmuring, and give your bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as noonday; and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according to the desire of your soul, and your bones shall grow fat, and you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water, or like a land where water does not fail."
