Tree of Life Version
Isaiah 58:3-5
Tree of Life Version
3 “Why have we fasted.
yet You do not see?
Why have we afflicted our souls,
yet You take no notice?”
“Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,
and exploit all your laborers.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention
and to strike with a wicked fist.
You should not fast as you do today
to make your voice heard on high.
5 Is this the fast I have chosen?
A day for one to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and spreading out sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast
and a day acceptable to Adonai?
