Isaiah 58:4-6
International Standard Version
4 “Look! You fast only for quarreling, and for[a] fighting,
and for hitting with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and have your voice heard on high.
5 “Is this the kind of fast that I have chosen,
merely a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it merely for bowing down one’s head like a bulrush,
for lying[b] on sackcloth and ashes?
Is this what you[c] call a fast,
an[d] acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Isn’t this the[e] fast that[f] I have been choosing:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
and[g] to untie the cords of the yoke,
and[h] to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
