58:13–14 While God’s people kept fasts not commanded in the Bible, they flouted Sabbath observance, which was one of the central commands of the OT. It was the fourth commandment, considered the sign of the Mosaic covenant (see note at 56:2). To observe the Sabbath meant turning away from self-absorbed behavior (see note at 58:8–9).
