  1. Isaiah 42:3 dimly burning
  2. Isaiah 42:3 extinguish

Is (A)it a fast that I have chosen,
(B)A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,
And (C)to spread out sackcloth and ashes?

And an acceptable day to the Lord?

“Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
Shall know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been a (A)staff of reed to the house of Israel.
(B)When they took hold of you with the hand,
You broke and tore all their [a]shoulders;
When they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their backs quiver.”
