Isaiah 58:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ This is the kind of fasting I have chosen:
Loosen the chains of wickedness,
untie the straps of the yoke,^[a]
let the oppressed go free,
and break every yoke.
⁷ Share your food with the hungry,
take the poor and homeless into your house,
and cover them with clothes when you see ⌞them⌟ naked.
Don’t refuse to help your relatives.

⁸ Then your light will break through like the dawn,
and you will heal quickly.
Your righteousness will go ahead of you,
and the glory of the Lord will guard you from behind.
