12 Those from among you
(A)Shall 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 of [a]Streets to Dwell In.

13 “If (B)you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 (C)Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to (D)ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
(E)The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
