5Do you think that is the way I want you to fast?
Is it only a time for a man to make himself suffer?
Is it only for people to bow their heads like tall grass that is bent by the wind?
Is it only for people to lie down on black cloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast?
Do you think I can accept that?

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Is such the fast that I choose,
a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Will the fast I choose be like this:
A day for a person to deny himself,
to bow his head like a reed,
and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast
and a day acceptable to the Lord?

NLTNew Living Translation
You humble yourselves
by going through the motions of penance,
bowing your heads
like reeds bending in the wind.
You dress in burlap
and cover yourselves with ashes.
Is this what you call fasting?
Do you really think this will please the Lord?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Is the fast I choose like this,
a day for humankind to humiliate himself?
To bow his head like a reed,
and make his bed on sackcloth and ashes;
you call this a fast
and a day of pleasure to Yahweh?

KJV 1900King James Version
Is it such a fast that I have chosen?
A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush,
And to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Wilt thou call this a fast,
And an acceptable day to the Lord?
