Thus says the Lord Almighty: the fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah for joy and gladness and for good feasts; therefore love truth and peace.
Historic fasts are not merely ended but transfigured into joyful observances, provided the restored community truly loves truth and peace.
