58:11 The Lord will continually lead you;
he will feed you even in parched regions. 1
He will give you renewed strength, 2
and you will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring that continually produces water.
58:12 Your perpetual ruins will be rebuilt; 3
you will reestablish the ancient foundations.
You will be called, ‘The one who repairs broken walls,
the one who makes the streets inhabitable again.’ 4
58:13 You must 5 observe the Sabbath 6
rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. 7
You must look forward to the Sabbath 8
and treat the Lord’s holy day with respect. 9
You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities,
and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals. 10
58:14 Then you will find joy in your relationship to the Lord, 11
and I will give you great prosperity, 12
and cause crops to grow on the land I gave to your ancestor Jacob.” 13
Know for certain that the Lord has spoken. 14
