Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
    you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away (A)the yoke from your midst,
    (B)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 (C)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
    and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(D)then shall your light rise in the darkness
    and your gloom be as the noonday.

    and satisfy your desire in scorched places
    and make your bones strong;
and you shall be (E)like a watered garden,
    like a spring of water,
    whose waters do not fail.
