When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.
When I wept and humbled myself with fasting, I was jeered at and humiliated;
I wept while I fasted— even for that I was insulted.
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
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.
