Isaiah 58:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁰ If people are hungry,
    share your own food with them.
Help those people who are in pain.
Then your help to them will be like a light
    that shines in a dark place.
You will no longer live in darkness,
    but you will have light as bright as the sun at noon.
¹¹ The Lord will always be your guide.
He will give you plenty to eat,
    even when the ground is dry.
He will make your bodies strong.
You will be like a garden that has plenty of water.
You will be like a spring of water
    that never becomes dry.
