Isaiah 58:8-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,and your wound shall quickly be healed;Your vindication shall go before you,and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

9. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer,you shall cry for help, and he will say: “Here I am!”If you remove the yoke from among you,the accusing finger, and malicious speech;

10. If you lavish your food on the hungryand satisfy the afflicted;Then your light shall rise in the darkness,and your gloom shall become like midday;

11. Then the Lord will guide you alwaysand satisfy your thirst in parched places,will give strength to your bonesAnd you shall be like a watered garden,like a flowing spring whose waters never fail.

12. Your people shall rebuild the ancient ruins;the foundations from ages past you shall raise up;“Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you,“Restorer of ruined dwellings.”

13. If you refrain from trampling the sabbath,from following your own pursuits on my holy day;If you call the sabbath a delight,the Lord’s holy day glorious;If you glorify it by not following your ways,seeking your own interests, or pursuing your own affairs—

14. Then you shall delight in the Lord,and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth;I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father,for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
