Isaiah 58:2-5
2Yet they seekH1875 me daily, and delightH2654 to know my waysH1870: as a nationH1471 that did righteousnessH6666, and forsook not the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430, they askH7592 of me righteous judgmentsH4941; they delightH2654 to draw near unto GodH430.
3Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 your ownH5315 pleasureH2656, and exact all your labors.
4Behold, ye fastH6684 for strifeH7379 and contention, and to smite with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562: ye fastH6684 not this dayH3117 so as to makeH8085 your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 on highH4791.
5Is such the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? the dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031 his soulH5315? Is it to bow downH3721 his headH7218 as a rush, and to spreadH3331 sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 under him? wilt thou callH7121 this a fastH6685, and an acceptable dayH3117 to Jehovah?
