Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,

But I, when they were sick— I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest.

Haven’t I wept for those who are in trouble? Haven’t I felt sorry for poor people?

If that home welcomes you, give it your blessing of peace. If it does not, don’t bless it.

When I weep and go without eating, they laugh at me.When I put on rough clothing to show how sad I am, people make jokes about me.

But here is what I tell you. Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.

If someone there works to bring peace, your blessing of peace will rest on them. If not, it will return to you.

When Ahab heard what Elijah had said, he tore his clothes. He put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. He went without eating. He even slept in his clothes. He went around looking sad.Then a message from the Lord came to Elijah, who was from Tishbe. The Lord said,“ Have you seen how Ahab has made himself humble in my sight? Because he has done that, I will not bring trouble on him while he lives. But I will bring it on his royal house when his son is king.”

That day is a sabbath for you. You must rest on it. You must not eat anything on that day. This is a law that will last for all time to come.

‘ We have gone without food,’ they say.‘ Why haven’t you noticed it? We have made ourselves suffer. Why haven’t you paid any attention to us?’“ On the day when you fast, you do as you please. You take advantage of all your workers.

Do you think that is the way I want you to fast? Is it only a time for people to make themselves suffer? Is it only for people to bow their heads like tall grass bent by the wind? Is it only for people to lie down in ashes and clothes of mourning? Is that what you call a fast? Do you think I can accept that?

One day John’s disciples came. They said to Jesus,“ We and the Pharisees often go without eating. Why don’t your disciples go without eating?”Jesus answered,“ How can the guests of the groom be sad while he is with them? The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.

Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not curse them.Be joyful with those who are joyful. Be sad with those who are sad.

“ Here is a law for you that will last for all time to come. On the tenth day of the seventh month you must not eat anything. You must not do any work. It does not matter whether you are Israelites or outsiders.
