You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today, hoping to make your voice heard on high.

你们禁食，却互相争竞，以凶恶的拳头打人。你们今日禁食，不得使你们的声音听闻于上。

看哪，你们禁食，却起纷争兴讼，以凶恶的拳头打人。你们今日这种禁食无法使你们的声音听闻于高处。

看哪，你们禁食，却起纷争兴讼，以凶恶的拳头打人。你们今日这种禁食无法使你们的声音听闻于高处。

你们一面禁食，一面争闹打斗，彼此恶拳相向。不要指望这样的禁食会使你们的祷告在天上蒙垂听。

看哪！你们禁食，结果是吵闹和打架，用凶恶的拳头打人；你们不要像今天这样的禁食，使你们的声音可以听闻于天上。

看哪！你们一边禁食，一边争竞、纷争、用邪恶的拳头打人。你们为要自己的声音在高处蒙垂听，就不要像今天这样禁食！

你們禁食，卻互相爭競，以凶惡的拳頭打人。你們今日禁食，不得使你們的聲音聽聞於上。

看哪，你們禁食，卻起紛爭興訟，以兇惡的拳頭打人。你們今日這種禁食無法使你們的聲音聽聞於高處。

看哪，你們禁食，卻起紛爭興訟，以兇惡的拳頭打人。你們今日這種禁食無法使你們的聲音聽聞於高處。

你們一面禁食，一面爭鬧打鬥，彼此惡拳相向。不要指望這樣的禁食會使你們的禱告在天上蒙垂聽。

看哪！你們禁食，結果是吵鬧和打架，用兇惡的拳頭打人；你們不要像今天這樣的禁食，使你們的聲音可以聽聞於天上。

嘿，你們禁食、只為的是吵鬧和爭競，拿兇惡的拳頭打人呀！像你們今天這樣的禁食並不能使你們的聲音在高天得聽到呀。

看哪！你們一邊禁食，一邊爭競、紛爭、用邪惡的拳頭打人。你們為要自己的聲音在高處蒙垂聽，就不要像今天這樣禁食！

爾之禁食、致起爭競、凶拳毆擊、此期禁食、爾聲不得上聞、

是爾禁食、依然作惡、與人爭競、揮拳敺擊、夫如是豈得升聞於上哉。

爾曹禁食、依然相爭相競、逞兇揮拳毆擊、爾今如此禁食、爾呼籲之聲、必不升聞於上、爾呼籲之聲必不升聞於上或作並非欲爾呼籲之聲升聞於上

Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high.

When you fast, it ends in arguing and fighting. You hit one another with your fists. That is an evil thing to do. The way you are now fasting keeps your prayers from being heard in heaven.

Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist. Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high.

What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me.

Behold, you fast for contention and strife, and to strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like you have done today to make your voice heard on high!

Indeed you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To make your voice heard on high.

Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today, hoping to make your voice heard on high.

Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as[ ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

Look, your fasting is accompanied by arguments, brawls, and fistfights. Do not fast as you do today, trying to make your voice heard in heaven.

Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

Tear your hearts, not just your clothes, and return to the LORD your God. For he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and he relents from sending disaster.Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him, so you can offer a grain offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God.

The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable— how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives!

In the letters, she wrote: Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people.Then seat two wicked men opposite him and have them testify against him, saying,“ You have cursed God and the king!” Then take him out and stone him to death.The men of his city, the elders and nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them, just as it was written in the letters she had sent them.They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth at the head of the people.The two wicked men came in and sat opposite him. Then the wicked men testified against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying,“ Naboth has cursed God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.

Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are sinful works, and violent acts are in their hands.

Most of the brothers have gained confidence in the Lord from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the word fearlessly.To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will.

Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said,“ Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience to this day.”The high priest Ananias ordered those who were standing next to him to strike him on the mouth.

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water.

“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.

“ Whenever you fast, don’t be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces so that their fasting is obvious to people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward.But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,so that your fasting isn’t obvious to others but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher judgment.”

But your iniquities are separating you from your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not listen.
