Which action is commanded in Isaiah 58:1?

Cry Aloud Be Silent Speak Softly Sing Aloud

Correct Answer:

Cry Aloud

Explanation:

Crying aloud is the action commanded. In Isaiah 58:1, the message is to declare God’s words boldly and publicly: “Cry aloud, spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet.” This isn't a quiet or private exhortation; it’s a loud, urgent proclamation meant to grab attention and confront the people with their transgressions. The accompanying phrase to lift up the voice like a trumpet emphasizes clarity and reach, ensuring the message is heard far and wide. The goal is to call out the sins of the people so they might repent, rather than whisper or remain silent or soft-spoken.
