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
This comes from a time when the Israelites had returned from exile in Babylon and were going through the motions of religious observance, including regular fasting. However, their hearts weren't truly changed—they were treating their workers harshly and pursuing their own business interests even on days set aside for spiritual devotion. God, through Isaiah, was calling out their hypocrisy.
