Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
    and your wound will quickly be healed;
your righteousness will go before you,
    and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Then, when you call, the Lord will answer;
    you will cry out for help,
    and he will say, “Here I am.”
If you cease to tolerate the yoke of oppression,
    the pointing of fingers[a] and malicious words,
10 if you offer your food to the hungry
    and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
    and your night will become like midday.
