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?
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
bThe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
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,
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your1 darkness shall be as the noonday.
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.
aShall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of1 Streets to Dwell In.

Then . . . call . . . answer—when sin is renounced (Isaiah 65:24). When the Lord's call is not hearkened to, He will not hear our "call" (Psalms 66:18; Proverbs 1:24, Proverbs 1:28; Proverbs 15:29; Proverbs 28:9).
putting forth of . . . finger—the finger of scorn pointed at simple-minded godly men. The middle finger was so used by the Romans.
