10 (A)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
    and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(B)then shall your light rise in the darkness

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

    you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
    the restorer of streets to dwell in.
