But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing[ was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

And[ this] shall be a statute for ever unto you:[ that] in the seventh month, on the tenth[ day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all,[ whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:For on that day shall[ the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you,[ that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.It[ shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished[ them],

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Wherefore have we fasted,[ say they], and thou seest not?[ wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.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.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?

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with[ him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Also on the tenth[ day] of this seventh month[ there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it[ is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.For whatsoever soul[ it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.And whatsoever soul[ it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.Ye shall do no manner of work:[ it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.It[ shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth[ day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

But I keep under my body, and bring[ it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for[ his] only[ son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for[ his] firstborn.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves[ with him].

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea,[ what] clearing of yourselves, yea,[ what] indignation, yea,[ what] fear, yea,[ what] vehement desire, yea,[ what] zeal, yea,[ what] revenge! In all[ things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse[ your] hands,[ ye] sinners; and purify[ your] hearts,[ ye] double minded.Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and[ your] joy to heaviness.Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

[ And] to speak unto the priests which[ were] in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?

Blessed[ are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
