4. I – THE AUDIENCE OF PRAYER A.) Pretentious fasting “ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.” (vs. 16) "Ug sa magapuasa kamo, ayaw kamo pagpadayag nga masulob-on, ingon sa mga maut, kay sila magapadautdaut sa ilang mga nawong aron lang makita sa mga tawo nga sila nanagpuasa. Sa pagkatinuod, magaingon ako kaninyo, nga sila nakadawat na sa ilang balus.”
5. B.) Proper Fasting “ But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” (vs. 17 & 18) “ Apan ikaw, sa magapuasa ka, kina-hanglan manghiso ka hinoon sa imong ulo ug manghilam-os ka sa imong nawong,aron ang imong pagpuasa dili makita sa mga tawo kondili sa imong Amahan nga anaa sa tago; ug ang imong Amahan nga nagatan-aw sa tago magabalus kanimo.” (Cebuano)

8. Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? . . . Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. (Zechariah 7:5, 9,10) Sultihi ang tanang katawohan sa yuta, ug ang mga sacerdote, nga magaingon: Sa pagpuasa ug sa pagbangotan ninyo sa ikalima ug sa ikapito ka bulan, bisan niining kapitoan ka tuig, nagpuasa ba gayud kamo kanako, bisan pa kanako? . . . Mao kini ang gisulti ni Jehova sa mga panon, nga nagaingon: Magpahamtang ka sa matuod nga paghukom, ug magpakita sa kalooy ug malomong pagbati ang tagsatagsa ka tawo sa iyang igsoon; Ug dili mo pagdaugdaugon ang mga balong babaye, ni ang mga ilo, ni ang dumuloong, ni ang kabus; ug bisan kinsa kaninyo ayaw pahunahunaa ug dautan batok sa iyang igsoon sulod sa iyang kasingkasing.
