Isaiah 58:12-14
Good News Translation
12 Your people will rebuild what has long been in ruins, building again on the old foundations. You will be known as the people who rebuilt the walls, who restored the ruined houses.”
The Reward for Keeping the Sabbath
13 The Lord says, “If you treat the Sabbath as sacred and do not pursue your own interests on that day; if you value my holy day and honor it by not traveling, working, or talking idly on that day, 14 then you will find the joy that comes from serving me. I will make you honored all over the world, and you will enjoy the land I gave to your ancestor, Jacob. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

New International Version
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins(A)
and will raise up the age-old foundations;(B)
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,(C)
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath(D)
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight(E)
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,(F)
14 then you will find your joy(G) in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights(H) of the land
and to feast on the inheritance(I) of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(J)
