Isaiah 58:4-5
4Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fightand to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
5 aIs such the fast that I choose,
ba day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?
