I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 (D)And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 (E)And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[c] (F)until he should pay all his debt.

English Standard Version
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
(A)to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps (B)of the yoke,
to let the oppressed[a] go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not (C)to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
(D)and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 (E)Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
(F)and your healing shall spring up speedily;
(G)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 (I)the yoke from your midst,
(J)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 (K)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(L)then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
