_ _ ye shall not fast — rather, “ye do not fast at this time, so as to make your voice to be heard on high,” that is, in heaven; your aim in fasting is strife, not to gain the ear of God [Maurer] (1 Kings 21:9, 1 Kings 21:12, 1 Kings 21:13). In English Version the sense is, If you wish acceptance with God, ye must not fast as ye now do, to make your voice heard high in strife. |
