1 Cry aloud! Don’t hold back!
2 They look for me every day and want to know my ways.
3 Why have we fasted if you are not aware of it?
4 Don’t you see that when you fast,
5 Is this the kind of fasting I have chosen?
6 This is the kind of fasting I have chosen:
7 Share your food with the hungry,
8 Then your light will break through like the dawn,
9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer.
10 If you give some of your own food to ⌞feed⌟ those who are hungry
11 The Lord will continually guide you
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
13 If you stop trampling on the day of rest
14 then you will find joy in the Lord.
