Isaiah 58:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you,
the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:6-8
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)
