38:19 The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks,
as I do today.
A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.
48:7 Now they come into being, 1 not in the past;
before today you did not hear about them,
so you could not say,
‘Yes, 2 I know about them.’
58:4 Look, your fasting is accompanied by 3 arguments, brawls,
and fistfights. 4
Do not fast as you do today,
trying to make your voice heard in heaven.
