1 Kings 21:12

New American Bible - revised edition

They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people.

See the chapter Copy

His fellow citizens—the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city—did as Jezebel had ordered in the letters she sent them.

See, you fast only to quarrel and fight and to strike with a wicked fist! Do not fast as you do today to make your voice heard on high!
