Isaiah 58:5

JUB

NIV

5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? <em>is it</em> to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes <em>under him</em>? wilt thou call this a fast and an acceptable day to the LORD?
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?
