The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness.

Now they come into being, not in the past; before today you did not hear about them, so you could not say, 'Yes, I know about them.'

Each one says, 'Come on, I'll get some wine! Let's guzzle some beer! Tomorrow will be just like today! We'll have everything we want!'

Look, your fasting is accompanied by arguments, brawls, and fistfights. Do not fast as you do today, trying to make your voice heard in heaven.
