Isaiah 58:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Instead, share your food with hungry people.
Give a place in your home
    to poor people who have no home.
Give clothes to people who have nothing to wear.
If people in your own family need help,
    do not refuse to help them.
⁸ Then God's light will shine on you,
    like the sun's light at dawn.
Very soon, your troubles will go away.
The good things that you do to help others
    will be clear for everyone to see.
And the Lord will use his great power
    to keep you safe.
⁹ Then you will ask the Lord for help
    and he will answer you.
When you call out to him,
    he will say, “Here I am.”
But you must stop being cruel to other people.
Do not accuse people,
    and do not say bad things about them.
