2 For day after day they seek(A) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(B) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(C) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(D) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(E) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(F)
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please(G)
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,(H)
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard(I) on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast(J) I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble(K) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed(L)
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?(M)
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?

12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(I)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(J)
Your incense(K) is detestable(L) to me.
New Moons,(M) Sabbaths and convocations(N)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(O) feasts and your appointed festivals(P)
I hate with all my being.(Q)
They have become a burden to me;(R)
I am weary(S) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(T) in prayer,
I hide(U) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(V)

9 Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about the heaps; 10 and Azariah the chief priest, from the family of Zadok,(G) answered, “Since the people began to bring their contributions to the temple of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare, because the Lord has blessed his people, and this great amount is left over.”(H)
