Isaiah 58:3

"Why have we fasted when you do not see us?
Why have we humbled ourselves when you do not take notice?"
Behold, on your fast days you go about your business (affairs) as usual
and perform all your tasks.

לָמָּה   צַּמְנוּ   וְלֹא   רָאִיתָ   עִנִּינוּ   נַפְשֵׁנוּ   וְלֹא   תֵדָע   הֵן   בְּיוֹם   צֹמְכֶם   תִּמְצְאוּ   חֵפֶץ   וְכָל   עַצְּבֵיכֶם   תִּנְגֹּשׂוּ  

Greek Septuagint (LXX), Read from left to right

λέγοντες τί ὅτι ἐνηστεύσαμεν καὶ οὐκ εἶδες ἐταπεινώσαμεν τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔγνως ἐν γὰρ ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν νηστειῶν ὑμῶν εὑρίσκετε τὰ θελήματα ὑμῶν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ὑποχειρίους ὑμῶν ὑπονύσσετε
