Isaiah 58:10-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. if you open your heart to the hungry,and provide abundantly for those who are afflicted,your light will shine in the darkness,and your gloom will be like the noon.

11. The Lord will guide you continuallyand provide for you, even in parched places.He will rescue your bones.You will be like a watered garden,like a spring of water that won’t run dry.

12. They will rebuild ancient ruins on your account;the foundations of generations past you will restore.You will be called Mender of Broken Walls,Restorer of Livable Streets.

13. If you stop trampling the Sabbath,stop doing whatever you want on my holy day,and consider the Sabbath a delight,sacred to the Lord, honored,and honor it instead of doing things your way,seeking what you want and doing business as usual,

14. then you will take delight in the Lord.I will let you ride on the heights of the earth;I will sustain you with the heritage of your ancestor Jacob.The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
