A delegation asks whether the fast mourning Jerusalem’s destruction should still be kept. The LORD answers that their fasting and feasting had been centered on themselves rather than Him. He recalls the message of the former prophets: execute true judgment, show mercy and compassion, and do not oppress the vulnerable. Their fathers refused to hear, so the land became desolate.
