‏ Isaiah 58:9

9. Then ... call ... answer--when sin is renounced (Is 65:24). When the Lord's call is not hearkened to, He will not hear our "call" (Psa 66:18; Pr 1:24, 28; 15:29; 28:9).

putting forth of ... finger--the finger of scorn pointed at simple-minded godly men. The middle finger was so used by the Romans.

speaking vanity--every injurious speech [Lowth].
