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.
Preguntan: '¿Por qué hemos ayunado y no lo ves? ¿Por qué nos hemos humillado y no lo notas?' Pero miren, en los días que ayunan, siguen buscando sus propios intereses y obligan a sus trabajadores a laborar.
Dios no honra el ayuno cuando se hace con motivos egoístas y mientras se oprime a otros.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Isaiah was addressing the people of Judah during a time of spiritual decline, where they performed religious acts like fasting but lacked genuine repentance. They complained that God ignored their efforts, yet He pointed out that their fasting was hypocritical because they continued to seek personal pleasures and oppress others through their daily labors. This rebuke was part of a broader call for authentic worship and social justice in a society that prioritized rituals over righteous living.
