⁷ `And on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation ye have, and ye have humbled your souls; ye do no work;

⁹ And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,

¹³ And I -- in their sickness my clothing `is' sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

²⁹ `And it hath been to you for a statute age-during, in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month, ye humble yourselves, and do no work -- the native, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

³⁰ for on this day he maketh atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before Jehovah ye are clean;

³¹ it `is' to you a sabbath of rest, and ye have humbled yourselves -- a statute age-during.

⁸ draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled!

⁹ be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

¹⁰ be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.

⁹ I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;

¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

¹¹ for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

²⁷ but I chastise my body, and bring `it' into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.

⁶ this knowing, that our old man was crucified with `him', that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

⁵ No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'

³ No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

⁴ `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.

¹⁰ And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.

³ speaking unto the priests who `are' at the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, `Do I weep in the fifth month -- being separated -- as I have done these so many years?'

³ `Why have we fasted, and Thou hast not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and Thou knowest not.' Lo, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, And all your labours ye exact.

⁴ Lo, for strife and debate ye fast, And to smite with the fist of wickedness, Ye fast not as `to'-day, To sound in the high place your voice.

⁵ Like this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man's afflicting his soul? To bow as a reed his head, And sackcloth and ashes spread out? This dost thou call a fast, And a desirable day -- to Jehovah?

¹² And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,

⁵ Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

⁶ Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

²¹ And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance,

²⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ `Only -- on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁸ and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.

²⁹ `For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;

³⁰ and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;

³¹ ye do no work -- a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.

³² It `is' a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'
