Isaiah 58:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ “I will tell you the kind of fast I ·want [have chosen]:
·Free the people you have put in prison unfairly [^LRelease the chains/bonds of wickedness]
    and ·undo their chains [or untie the ropes from the yoke].
Free ·those to whom you are unfair [the oppressed]
    and ·stop their hard labor [^Lbreak every yoke].
⁷ Share your food with the hungry
    and bring poor, homeless people into your own homes.
When you see someone who has no clothes, ·give him yours [clothe him],
    and don’t ·refuse to help [^Lconceal yourself from] your ·own relatives [flesh].
⁸ Then your light will shine like the dawn,
    and your wounds will quickly heal.
Your ·God [^Lrighteousness] will walk before you,
    and the glory of the Lord [^Chis manifest presence] will ·protect you from behind [be your rear guard].
