10 You should feed those who are hungry.
    You should take care of the needs of those who are troubled.
Then your light will shine in the darkness.
    And you will be bright like sunshine at noon.

    He will satisfy your needs in dry lands.

12 Your people will rebuild the old cities that are now in ruins.
    You will rebuild the foundations of these ancient cities.
You will be known for repairing the broken places.
    You will be known for rebuilding the roads and houses.
