אַגְמֹן

Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.

Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.

Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?
