Isaiah 58:5


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?


World English Bible (WEB)

Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?


Strong's King James

Is it such a fast{H6685} that I have chosen{H977}{(H8799)}? a day{H3117} for a man{H120} to afflict{H6031}{(H8763)} his soul{H5315}? is it to bow down{H3721}{(H8800)} his head{H7218} as a bulrush{H100}, and to spread{H3331}{(H8686)} sackcloth{H8242} and ashes{H665} under him? wilt thou call{H7121}{(H8799)} this{H2088} a fast{H6685}, and an acceptable{H7522} day{H3117} to the LORD{H3068}?

Young's Literal Translation

Like this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow as a reed his head, And sackcloth and ashes spread out? This dost thou call a fast, And a desirable day—to Jehovah?
