Isaiah 58:5

Is such the fast that I choose , a 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 ?

Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for people to humble themselves? Is it only for bowing one`s head like a reed and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the Lord?

Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him ? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
