Isaiah 58:1
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Study Note
God's commission to Isaiah to 'cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression' frames the critique of false fasting in Isaiah 58 as an act of prophetic courage demanded by divine commission. The chapter proceeds to expose the contradiction between elaborate religious observance and the exploitation of workers — fasting that accompanies oppression is 'not the fast that I have chosen' (verse 6). The alternative fast — loosing the bands of wickedness, freeing the oppressed, feeding the hungry, housing the poor — radically moralises religious practice in a way that Jesus echoes in Matthew 25:35-36 and James in James 1:27. The trumpet image links to Ezekiel 33's watchman theology: the prophet who fails to warn shares in the community's bloodguilt.

Call with the throat, restrain not, As a trumpet lift up thy voice, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
Make a loud cry, do not be quiet, let your voice be sounding like a horn, and make clear to my people their evil doings, and to the family of Jacob their sins.
