Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 5 is found in chapter 58 of Isaiah. The fasting God accepts consists not merely of outward affliction, but of freeing the oppressed, sharing bread, and caring for the needy. Isaiah dismantles a false separation between worship and social justice. When the people practice mercy, light, restoration, and God’s presence are described as consequences of authentic worship.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.

Italiano · DIO1885 Il digiuno che io approvo, e il giorno che l’uomo deve affliggere l’anima sua è egli tale? nominerai tu questo digiuno, e giorno accettevole al Signore, che l’uomo chini il capo come un giunco, e si corichi nel cilicio, e nella cenere?

中文 · RCUV 這豈是我所要的禁食， 為人所用以刻苦己心的日子嗎？ 我難道只是叫人如蘆葦般低頭， 鋪上麻布和灰燼嗎？ 你能稱此為禁食， 為耶和華所悅納的日子嗎？
