God Challenges the Motivation for Fasting

Zechariah 7:4-7

And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying:

`Speak unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying:

When ye fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh months --even these seventy years--did ye keep the fast to Me--Me? And when ye eat, and when ye drink, is it not ye who are eating, and ye who are drinking?

`Are not these the words that Jehovah proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem's being inhabited, and in safety, and its cities round about it, and the south and the plain--abiding?'
