Isaiah 58:10-11
New English Translation
10 You must[a] actively help the hungry
and feed the oppressed.[b]
Then your light will dispel the darkness,[c]
and your darkness will be transformed into noonday.[d]
11 The Lord will continually lead you;
he will feed you even in parched regions.[e]
He will give you renewed strength,[f]
and you will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring that continually produces water.

King James Version
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness 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.
