10 And if you (A)offer yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the [a]need of the afflicted,
Then your (B)light will rise in darkness,
And your gloom will become like midday.
11 And the (C)Lord will continually guide you,
And (D)satisfy your [b]desire in scorched places,
And (E)give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a (F)watered garden,
And like a (G)spring of water whose waters do not [c]fail.
12 Those from among you will (H)rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will (I)raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the (J)breach,
The restorer of the [d]streets in which to dwell.

Keeping the Sabbath

13 “If, because of the Sabbath, you (K)restrain your foot
From doing as you wish on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a (L)pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your (M)own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And (N)speaking your own word,
14 Then you will take (O)delight in the Lord,
And I will make you ride (P)on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
For the (Q)mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
