Isaiah 58 (selected) (NLT)
What good is fasting when you
keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you
anywhere with me…. No, this is the kind of fasting I want: free those who are
wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the
oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with
the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need
them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help….
Then your light will shine out
from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
[Adonai] will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and
restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an
ever-flowing spring. Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your
cities. Then you will be known as a re-builder of walls and a restorer of
homes.
Luke 10: 25-37 (CEB)
