Isaiah 58:2-4

Yet they seek
<01875> (8799)
me daily
<03117> <03117>_,
and delight
<02654> (8799)
to know
<01847>
my ways
<01870>_,
as a nation
<01471>
that did
<06213> (8804)
righteousness
<06666>_,
and forsook
<05800> (8804)
not the ordinance
<04941>
of their God
<0430>_:
they ask
<07592> (8799)
of me the ordinances
<04941>
of justice
<06664>_;
they take delight
<02654> (8799)
in approaching
<07132>
to God
<0430>_.
Wherefore have we fasted
<06684> (8804)_,
[say they], and thou seest
<07200> (8804)
not? [wherefore] have we afflicted
<06031> (8765)
our soul
<05315>_,
and thou takest no knowledge
<03045> (8799)_?
Behold, in the day
<03117>
of your fast
<06685>
ye find
<04672> (8799)
pleasure
<02656>_,
and exact
<05065> (8799)
all your labours
<06092>_.
{labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}
Behold, ye fast
<06684> (8799)
for strife
<07379>
and debate
<04683>_,
and to smite
<05221> (8687)
with the fist
<0106>
of wickedness
<07562>_:
ye shall not fast
<06684> (8799)
as [ye do this] day
<03117>_,
to make your voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8687)
on high
<04791>_.
{ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day}
