True Sabbath Keeping and the Blessings of It 1

13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lord's holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,






Isa 58:13
Call the Sabbath a delight . . . the Lord's holy day honorable—The Sabbath was another empty religious observance for the Jewish people of Isaiah’s day. God calls them to take a delight in the heart and in the purpose of the Sabbath—to honor it by not going your own way.

Not going your own way—Answering to "keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath."
