If you do away with the yoke,
the clenched fist and malicious words,
if you deprive yourself for the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
your light will rise in the darkness,
and your darkest hour will be like noon.
THE LORD will always guide you,
will satisfy your needs in the scorched land;
he will give strength to your bones
and you will be like a watered garden,
like a flowing spring
whose waters never run dry.
