¹⁰ If people are hungry,
    share your own food with them.
Help those people who are in pain.
Then your help to them will be like a light
    that shines in a dark place.
You will no longer live in darkness,
    but you will have light as bright as the sun at noon.
¹¹ The Lord will always be your guide.
He will give you plenty to eat,
    even when the ground is dry.
He will make your bodies strong.
You will be like a garden that has plenty of water.
You will be like a spring of water
    that never becomes dry.
¹² You will build again the cities
    which became heaps of stones a long time ago.
You will build your houses on the old foundations.
People will call you, “Builders who mend the walls and the streets with their houses.”
