Isaiah 58:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 If thou [a]pour out thy soul to the hungry, and refresh the troubled soul: then shall thy light spring out in the [b]darkness, and thy darkness shall 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 shall be of thee, that shall build the old [c]waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations for many generations, and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach, and the restorer of the paths to dwell in.
