- 你要大声喊叫,不可止息,扬起声来好像吹角,向我百姓说明他们的过犯,向雅各家说明他们的罪恶。
- 他们天天寻求我,乐意明白我的道。好像行义的国民,不离弃他们神的典章,向我求问公义的判语,喜悦亲近神。
- 他们说,我们禁食,你为何不看见呢。我们刻苦己心,你为何不理会呢。看哪,你们禁食的日子,仍求利益,勒逼人为你们作苦工。
- 你们禁食,却互相争竞,以凶恶的拳头打人。你们今日禁食,不得使你们的声音听闻于上。
- 这样禁食,岂是我所拣选使人刻苦己心的日子麽。岂是叫人垂头像苇子,用麻布和炉灰铺在他以下麽。你这可称为禁食为耶和华所悦纳的日子麽。

- Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
- Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
- Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
- Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
- 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?
