"Is it not to ^(p)divide your bread ^[c]with the hungry And ^(q)bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the ^(r)naked, to cover him; And not to ^(s)hide yourself from your own flesh?

"Then your ^(t)light will break out like the dawn, And your ^(u)recovery will speedily spring forth; And your ^(v)righteousness will go before you; The glory of the ^(w) Lord will be your rear guard.

"Then you will ^(x)call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.' If you ^(y)remove the yoke from your midst, The ^[d](z)pointing of the finger and ^(aa)speaking wickedness,

And if you ^[e](ab)give yourself to the hungry And satisfy the ^[f]desire of the afflicted, Then your ^(ac)light will rise in darkness And your gloom will become like midday.

"And the ^(ad) Lord will continually guide you, And ^(ae)satisfy your ^[g]desire in scorched places, And ^(af)give strength to your bones; And you will be like a ^(ag)watered garden, And like a ^(ah)spring of water whose waters do not ^[h]fail.
