Isaiah 58:13

If thou turn back. From the sabbath thy foot, From doing thine own pleasure on my holy day,—And shall call—The sabbath, An exquisite delight, The holy day of Yahweh, A day to be honoured, And so shall honour it rather—Than do thine own ways, Than take thine own pleasure or Than speak thine own word,

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

In Context

12And they who come of thee shall build the wastes of age-past times, And as for the foundations of generation after generation, thou shalt rear them up,—So shalt thou be called—A Repairer of broken walls, A Restorer of paths leading home.

14Then, shalt thou rest thine own exquisite delight upon Yahweh, …And I will cause thee to ride over the high places of the land,—And will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken.
