-"Then your ^(C1)light will break out like the dawn, And your ^(C2)recovery will spring up quickly; And your ^(C3)righteousness will go before you; The glory of the ^(C4)LORD will be your rear guard.

-"Then you will ^(C1)call, and the LORD will answer; You will cry for help, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you ^(C2)remove the yoke from your midst, The ^(F1)(C3)pointing of the finger and ^(C4)speaking wickedness,

And if you ^(C1)offer yourself to the hungry And satisfy the ^(F1)need of the afflicted, Then your ^(C2)light will rise in darkness, And your gloom will become like midday.

-"And the ^(C1)LORD will continually guide you, And ^(C2)satisfy your ^(F1)desire in scorched places, And ^(C3)give strength to your bones; And you will be like a ^(C4)watered garden, And like a ^(C5)spring of water whose waters do not ^(F2)fail.

-"Those from among you will ^(C1)rebuild the ancient ruins; You will ^(C2)raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the ^(C3)breach, The restorer of the ^(F1)streets in which to dwell.

"If, because of the Sabbath, you ^(C1)restrain your foot From doing as you wish on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a ^(C2)pleasure, and the holy day of the LORD honorable, And honor it, desisting from your ^(C3)own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And ^(C4)speaking your own word,

Then you will take ^(C1)delight in the LORD, And I will make you ride ^(C2)on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the ^(C3)mouth of the LORD has spoken."
