Isaiah 58:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Is this not the fast which I choose,
To (A)loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To release the bands of [a]the yoke,
And to (B)let the oppressed go free
And (C)break every [b]yoke?
7 Is it not to (D)divide your bread [c]with the hungry
And (E)bring the afflicted homeless into the house;
When you see the (F)naked, you cover him;
And not to (G)hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your (H)light will break out like the dawn,
And your (I)recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your (J)righteousness will go before you;
The glory of (K)Yahweh will be your rear guard.

New International Version
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting(A) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice(B)
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed(C) free
and break every yoke?(D)
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry(E)
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter(F)—
when you see the naked, to clothe(G) them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?(H)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(I)
and your healing(J) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](K) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(L)
