Isaiah 58:1-3

True Fasting
58 ‘Cry out loudly, don’t hold back!
Raise your voice like a ram’s horn.
Tell my people their transgression
and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 They seek me day after day
and delight to know my ways,
like a nation that does what is right
and does not abandon the justice of their God.
They ask me for righteous judgements;
they delight in the nearness of God.’(A)
3 ‘Why have we fasted, but you have not seen?(B)
We have denied ourselves, but you haven’t noticed! ’[a]
‘Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast,
and oppress all your workers.(C)
