Appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father.
I humbled my soul with fasting.
In the day of your fast ye find pleasure.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free.
When they fast, I will not hear thy cry.
When thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
