Verse 5
Isaiah 58:5
Free Bible Version
5
Is this the kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?

Is this the fast I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast, and a day of favor to the Lord?
