Isaiah 58:8-14

English Standard Version

⁸^(A)Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
    ^(B)and your healing shall spring up speedily;
^(C)your righteousness shall go before you;
    ^(D)the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
⁹Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
    you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away ^(E)the yoke from your midst,
    ^(F)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
¹⁰^(G)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
    and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^(H)then shall your light rise in the darkness
    and your gloom be as the noonday.
¹¹And the Lord will guide you continually
    and satisfy your desire in scorched places
    and make your bones strong;
and you shall be ^(I)like a watered garden,
    like a spring of water,
    whose waters do not fail.
¹²^(J)And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
    you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
    the restorer of streets to dwell in.

¹³^(K)“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,
    from doing your pleasure^[a] on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight
    and the holy day of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
    or seeking ^(L)your own pleasure,^[b] or talking idly;^[c]
¹⁴then you shall take delight in the Lord,
    ^(M)and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;^[d]
^(N)I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
    ^(O)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
