Psalms 35:13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Psalms 69:10
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
Psalms 109:24
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
Matthew 6:16-18
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a
sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which
is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly.
