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

Also H389 on the tenth H6218 day of this H2088 seventh H7637 month H2320 there shall be a day H3117 of atonement: H3725 it shall be an holy H6944 convocation H4744 to you; and you shall afflict H6031 your souls, H5315 and offer H7126 an offering made by fire to the LORD. H3068

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:

Then I proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 there, H8033 at H5921 the river H5104 of Ahava, H163 that we might afflict H6031 ourselves before H6440 our God, H430 to seek H1245 of him a right H3477 way H1870 for us, and for our little H2945 ones, and for all H3605 our substance. H7399

But as for me, when they were sick, H2470 my clothing H3830 was sackcloth: H8242 I humbled H6031 my soul H5315 with fasting; H6685 and my prayer H8605 returned H7725 into H5921 my own bosom. H2436

They that sow H2232 in tears H1832 shall reap H7114 in joy. H7440

He that goes H3212 forth and weeps, H1058 bearing H5375 precious H4901 seed, H2233 shall doubtless come H935 again with rejoicing, H7440 bringing H5375 his sheaves H485 with him.

And in that day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242

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

And to speak H559 to the priests H3548 which H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and to the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 Should I weep H1058 in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 separating H5144 myself, as I have done H6213 these H2088 so many years? H8141

And I will pour H8210 on the house H1004 of David, H1732 and on the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 the spirit H7307 of grace H2580 and of supplications: H8469 and they shall look H5027 on me whom H854 H834 they have pierced, H1856 and they shall mourn H5594 for him, as one mourns H5594 for his only H3173 son, and shall be in bitterness H4843 for him, as one that is in bitterness H4843 for his firstborn. H1060

Blessed G3107 are they that mourn: G3996 for they shall be comforted. G3870

I tell G3004 you, No: G3780 but, except G3362 you repent, G3340 you shall all G3956 likewise G5615 perish. G622

I tell G3004 you, No: G3780 but, except G3362 you repent, G3340 you shall all G3956 likewise G3668 perish. G622

Now G1161 when much G2425 time G5550 was spent, G1230 and when sailing G4144 was now G2235 dangerous, G2000 because G1223 the fast G3521 was now G2235 already G2235 past, G3928 Paul G3972 admonished G3867 them,

Knowing G1097 this, G5124 that our old G3820 man G444 is crucified G4957 with him, that the body G4983 of sin G266 might be destroyed, G2673 that from now on G3371 we should not serve G1398 sin. G266

But I keep G5299 under G5299 my body, G4983 and bring G1396 it into subjection: G1396 lest G3381 that by any G3381 means, G4458 when I have preached G2784 to others, G243 I myself should be a castaway. G96

Now G3568 I rejoice, G5463 not that you were made G3076 sorry, G3076 but that you sorrowed G3076 to repentance: G3341 for you were made G3076 sorry G3076 after G2596 a godly G2596 G2316 manner, that you might receive G2210 damage G2210 by us in nothing. G3367

For behold G2400 this G5124 selfsame G846 thing, that you sorrowed G3076 after G2596 a godly G2596 G2316 sort, what G4214 carefulness G4710 it worked G2716 in you, yes, G235 what clearing G627 of yourselves, yes, G235 what indignation, G24 yes, G235 what fear, G5401 yes, G235 what vehement G1972 desire, G1972 yes, G235 what zeal, G2205 yes, G235 what revenge! G1557 In all G3956 things you have approved G4921 yourselves G1438 to be clear G53 in this G3588 matter. G4229

Draw near G1448 to God, G2316 and he will draw near G1448 to you. Cleanse G2511 your hands, G5495 you sinners; G268 and purify G48 your hearts, G2588 you double G1374 minded. G1374

Humble G5013 yourselves in the sight G1799 of the Lord, G2962 and he shall lift G5312 you up.
