Isaiah 58:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 ‘Why have we (A)fasted and You do not see?
Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not [a]notice?’
Behold, on the (B)day of your fast you find your desire,
And oppress all your workers.
4 Behold, you fast for contention and (C)strife, and to strike with a wicked fist.
You do not fast like you have done today to (D)make your voice heard on high!
5 Is it a fast like this that I choose, a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it for bowing [b]one’s head like a reed
And for spreading out (E)sackcloth and ashes as a bed?
Will you call this a fast, even an (F)acceptable day to the Lord?
