6  Is not this the fast that I have chosen?

To loose tthe bands of wickedness,

uTo undo †the heavy burdens,

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.
