Isaiah 58:13

Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. 1 Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. 1 Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own words. 1
