When I wept, H1058 and chastened my soul H5315 with fasting, H6685 that was to my reproach. H2781

I made H5414 sackcloth H8242 also my garment; H3830 and I became H1961 a proverb H4912 to them.

Did not I weep H1058 for him that was in trouble? H7186 was not my soul H5315 grieved H5701 for the poor? H34

But I say G3004 to you, Love G25 your G5216 enemies, G2190 bless G2127 them that curse G2672 you, do G4160 good G2573 to them that hate G3404 you, and pray G4336 for them which G3588 spitefully G1908 use G1908 you, and persecute G1377 you;

Bless G2127 them which persecute G1377 you: bless, G2127 and curse G2672 not.

Rejoice G5463 with them that do rejoice, G5463 and weep G2799 with them that weep. G2799

And this shall be a statute H2708 for ever H5769 to you: that in the seventh H7637 month, H2320 on the tenth H6218 day H3117 of the month, H2320 you shall afflict H6031 your souls, H5315 and do H6213 no H3808 work H4399 at all, H3605 whether it be one of your own H249 country, H249 or a stranger H1616 that sojournes H1481 among H8432 you:

It shall be a sabbath H7676 of rest H7677 to you, and you shall afflict H6031 your souls, H5315 by a statute H2708 for ever. H5769

And it came H1961 to pass, when Ahab H256 heard H8085 those H428 words, H1697 that he rent H7167 his clothes, H899 and put H7760 sackcloth H8242 on his flesh, H1320 and fasted, H6684 and lay H7901 in sackcloth, H8242 and went H1980 softly. H328

See H7200 you how H3588 Ahab H256 humbles H3665 himself before H6440 me? because H3282 H3588 he humbles H3665 himself before H6440 me, I will not bring H935 the evil H7451 in his days: H3117 but in his son's H1121 days H3117 will I bring H935 the evil H7451 on his house. H1004

Why H4100 have we fasted, H6684 say they, and you see H7200 not? why have we afflicted H6031 our soul, H5315 and you take no H3808 knowledge? H3045 Behold, H2005 in the day H3117 of your fast H6685 you find H4672 pleasure, H2656 and exact H5065 all H3605 your labors. H6092

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

Then G5119 came G4334 to him the disciples G3101 of John, G2491 saying, G3004 Why G1302 do we and the Pharisees G5330 fast G3522 oft, G4183 but your disciples G3101 fast G3522 not?

And Jesus G2424 said G4483 to them, Can G1410 the children G5207 of the bridal chamber G3567 mourn, G3996 as long G1909 as the bridegroom G3566 is with them? but the days G2250 will come, G2064 when G3752 the bridegroom G3566 shall be taken G522 from them, and then G5119 shall they fast. G3522

And if G1437 the house G3614 be worthy, G514 let your G5216 peace G1515 come G2064 on it: but if G1437 it be not worthy, G514 let your G5216 peace G1515 return G1994 to you.

And if G1437 the son G5207 of peace G1515 be there, G1563 your G5216 peace G1515 shall rest G1879 on it: if G1490 not, it shall turn G344 to you again. G344
