Isaiah 58:6–12
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
To loose tthe bands of wickedness,
And xto let the †oppressed go free,
And that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not yzto deal thy bread to the hungry,
And ythat thou bring the poor that are ||cast out ato thy house?
zbWhen thou seest the naked, that thou cover him;
And that thou hide not thyself from cthine own flesh?
8 dThen shall thy light break forth as the morning,
And thine ehealth shall spring forth speedily:
And thy righteousness shall go before thee;
The glory of the Lord †shall be thy rereward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer;
Thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.
If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke,
fThe putting forth of the finger, and gspeaking vanity;
10 And if thou hdraw out thy soul ito the hungry,
And ksatisfy the afflicted soul;
dThen shall thy light rise in obscurity,
And thy darkness be as the noonday:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee lcontinually,
And ksatisfy thy soul in †drought,
And make fat thy bones:
And thou shalt be mlike a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters †fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee nshall build the old owaste places:
Thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations;
And thou shalt be called, pThe repairer of the breach,
The restorer of paths to dwell in.
