Isaiah 9:14

9:14 So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail,

both the shoots and stalk in one day.

Isaiah 19:15

19:15 Egypt will not be able to do a thing,

head or tail, shoots and stalk.

Isaiah 58:5

58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want?

Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves,

bowing their heads like a reed

and stretching out on sackcloth and ashes?

Is this really what you call a fast,

a day that is pleasing to the Lord?
