¹¹ “^(A)What are your many sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I ^[a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fattened cattle;
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.
¹² When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who requires ^[b]of you this trampling of My courtyards?

⁵ Is it a fast like this that I choose, a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it for bowing ^[a]one’s head like a reed
And for spreading out ^(A)sackcloth and ashes as a bed?
Will you call this a fast, even an ^(B)acceptable day to the Lord?
