Isa. 58:5 in context

Isa. 58:4      Isa. 58:6

Isaiah 58:5

Is this the kind of fasting I want?
A day when you feel pain just because you refrain from food, hang your head like a straw, and spread sackcloth and ashes under you?
Is this what you call fasting,
a day that allows the Lord to show mercy (conditional mercy – Hebr. ratson)?
[As special clothing for mourning and fasting, sackcloth was used to wrap oneself in or tie around the hips. Ashes or dirt were also sprinkled over the head, and people both sat and lay on sackcloth.]

οὐ ταύτην τὴν νηστείαν ἐξελεξάμην καὶ ἡμέραν ταπεινοῦν ἄνθρωπον τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ οὐδ᾽ ἂν κάμψῃς ὡς κρίκον τὸν τράχηλόν σου καὶ σάκκον καὶ σποδὸν ὑποστρώσῃ οὐδ᾽ οὕτως καλέσετε νηστείαν δεκτήν
