Isaiah 58:6-11

6 “Is this not the fast which I choose,
To ^aloosen the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the bands of the yoke,
And to ^blet the oppressed go free
And ^cbreak every yoke?
7 “Is it not to ^ddivide your bread ^{▼▼ Lit for}with the hungry
And ^fbring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the ^gnaked, to cover him;
And not to ^hhide yourself from your own flesh?
8 “Then your ⁱlight will break out like the dawn,
And your ^jrecovery will speedily spring forth;
And your ^krighteousness will go before you;
The glory of the ^lLord will be your rear guard.
9 “Then you will ^mcall, and the Lord will answer;
You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you ⁿremove the yoke from your midst,
The ^{▼▼ Lit sending out
,} ^ppointing of the finger and ^qspeaking wickedness,
10 And if you ^{▼▼ Lit furnish
,} ^sgive yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the ^{▼▼ Or soul}desire of the afflicted,
Then your ^ulight will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.
11 “And the ^vLord will continually guide you,
And ^wsatisfy your ^{▼▼ Or soul}desire in scorched places,
And ^ygive strength to your bones;
And you will be like a ^zwatered garden,
And like a ^aaspring of water whose waters do not ^{▼▼ Or deceive}fail.
