⁶ “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To ^(A)loose the bonds of wickedness,
^(B)To undo the ^[a]heavy burdens,
^(C)To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
⁷ Is it not ^(D)to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are ^[b]cast out;
^(E)When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from ^(F)your own flesh?
^8 (G)Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
^(H)The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
⁹ Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The ^[c]pointing of the finger, and ^(I)speaking wickedness,
¹⁰ If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your ^[d]darkness shall be as the noonday.
¹¹ The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
¹² Those from among you
^(J)Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of ^[e]Streets to Dwell In.

¹⁸ “The^(A) Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me ^[a]to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To ^(B)set at liberty those who are ^[b]oppressed;
