'Question' in the Bible

This is what the Lord says, the Creator of the signs: "Question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands.

Have I given orders for such a day as this? a day for keeping yourselves from pleasure? is it only a question of the bent head, of putting on haircloth, and being seated in the dust? is this what seems to you a holy day, well-pleasing to the Lord?
