1. Cry aloud, do not hold back;lift up your voice like a trumpet,and show My people their transgressionand the house of Jacob their sins.
2. Yet they seek Me dailyand delight to know My ways,as a nation that has done righteousnessand has not forsaken the ordinance of their God.They ask Me for the ordinances of justice;they take delight in approaching God.
3. “Why have we fastedand You do not see?Why have we humbled ourselvesand You take no notice?” Certainly, on the day of your fast you find your desireand are exacting on all your laborers.
