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:

The verse 10 is found in chapter 58 of Isaiah. The fasting God accepts consists not merely of outward affliction, but of freeing the oppressed, sharing bread, and caring for the needy. Isaiah dismantles a false separation between worship and social justice. When the people practice mercy, light, restoration, and God’s presence are described as consequences of authentic worship.

und wirst den Hungrigen lassen finden dein Herz und die elende Seele sättigen: so wird dein Licht in der Finsternis aufgehen, und dein Dunkel wird sein wie der Mittag;
Y si derramares tu alma al hambriento, y saciares el alma afligida, en las tinieblas nacerá tu luz, y tu oscuridad será como el medio día;
si te entregas al hambriento y sacias el alma afligida, tu luz brillará en las tinieblas y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía.
Si tu donnes ta propre subsistance à celui qui a faim, Si tu rassasies l'âme indigente, Ta lumière se lèvera sur l'obscurité, Et tes ténèbres seront comme le midi.
ed apri l’anima tua a colui che ha fame, e sazii la persona afflitta; la tua luce si leverà nelle tenebre, e la tua oscurità sarà come il mezzodì.
E se abrires a tua alma ao faminto, e fartares a alma aflita; então a tua luz nascerá nas trevas, e a tua escuridão será como o meio-dia.
向飢餓的人施憐憫, 使困苦的人得滿足; 你在黑暗中就必得著光明, 你的幽暗必變如正午。
