Isaiah 58:7-9
The Voice
7 A fast for Me involves sharing your food with people who have none,
giving those who are homeless a space in your home,
Giving clothes to those who need them, and not neglecting your own family.
8 Then, oh then, your light will break out like the warm, golden rays of a rising sun;
in an instant, you will be healed.
Your rightness will precede and protect you;
the glory of the Eternal will follow and defend you.
9 Then when you do call out, “My God, Where are You?”
The Eternal One will answer, “I am here, I am here.”
If you remove the yoke of oppression from the downtrodden among you,
stop accusing others, and do away with mean and inflammatory speech,
Isaiah 58:7-9
New International Version
Isaiah 58:7-9
New International Version
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry(A)
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter(B)—
when you see the naked, to clothe(C) them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?(D)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(E)
and your healing(F) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](G) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(H)
9 Then you will call,(I) and the Lord will answer;(J)
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
