Isaiah 58:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 Then your light will shine
like the dawning sun, and you
will quickly be healed.
Your honesty[a] will protect you
as you advance,
and the glory of the Lord
will defend you from behind.
9 When you beg the Lord for help,
he will answer, “Here I am!”
Don't mistreat others
or falsely accuse them
or say something cruel.
10 Give your food to the hungry
and care for the homeless.
Then your light will shine
in the dark;
your darkest hour will be
like the noonday sun.
