Isaiah 58:2

58:2 They seek me day after day;

they want to know my requirements,¹

like a nation that does what is right

and does not reject the law of their God.

They ask me for just decrees;

they want to be near God.

Isaiah 58:5

58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want?²

bowing their heads like a reed

and stretching out⁴ on sackcloth and ashes?

Is this really what you call a fast,

a day that is pleasing to the Lord?
