5 Est-ce là le jeûne auquel je prends plaisir, un jour où l'homme afflige son âme? Est-ce de courber sa tête comme un jonc, de se coucher sur le sac et la cendre? Appelleras-tu cela un jeûne, un jour agréable à l'Éternel?
5
Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for people to humble themselves? Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD?
