Isaias

4 Behold, ye fast for contention and quarrel, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye shall not fast as to-day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

5 Shall such be the fast I will choose? a day of man's afflicting his soul? is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and spread out sackcloth and ashes (as a bed)? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the-LORD?
