Isaiah 58:8

Compare all

6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To ^aloose the bonds of wickedness,
^bTo undo the¹ heavy burdens,
^cTo let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?

7 Is it not ^ato share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are¹ cast out;
^bWhen you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from ^cyour own flesh?

8 ^aThen your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
^bThe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

9 The¹n you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and ^aspeaking wickedness,

10 If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your¹ darkness shall be as the noonday.

11 The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
