58:8 Then your light will shine like the sunrise; 1
your restoration will quickly arrive; 2
your godly behavior 3 will go before you,
and the Lord’s splendor will be your rear guard. 4
58:9 Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond;
you will cry out, and he will reply, ‘Here I am.’
You must 5 remove the burdensome yoke from among you
and stop pointing fingers and speaking sinfully.
58:10 You must 6 actively help the hungry
and feed the oppressed. 7
Then your light will dispel the darkness, 8
and your darkness will be transformed into noonday. 9
58:11 The Lord will continually lead you;
he will feed you even in parched regions. 10
He will give you renewed strength, 11
and you will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring that continually produces water.
58:12 Your perpetual ruins will be rebuilt; 12
you will reestablish the ancient foundations.
You will be called, ‘The one who repairs broken walls,
the one who makes the streets inhabitable again.’ 13
