'Pleasing To The Lord' in the Bible

Is this really the kind of fasting I want? Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, bowing their heads like a reed and stretching out on sackcloth and ashes? Is this really what you call a fast, a day that is pleasing to the Lord?

The offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in former times and years past.
