Isaiah 58:8-12
New International Version
Isaiah 58:8-12
New International Version
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(A)
and your healing(B) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](C) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(D)
9 Then you will call,(E) and the Lord will answer;(F)
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger(G) and malicious talk,(H)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,(I)
then your light(J) will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.(K)
11 The Lord will guide(L) you always;
he will satisfy your needs(M) in a sun-scorched land(N)
and will strengthen(O) your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,(P)
like a spring(Q) whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins(R)
and will raise up the age-old foundations;(S)
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,(T)
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

Isaiah 58:8-12
King James Version
Isaiah 58:8-12
King James Version
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
