¹⁵ If I am guilty^(A)—woe to me!^(B)
    Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,^(C)
for I am full of shame
    and drowned in^[a] my affliction.^(D)

⁵ Is this the kind of fast^(A) I have chosen,
    only a day for people to humble^(B) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed^(C)
    and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?^(D)
Is that what you call a fast,
    a day acceptable to the Lord?
