And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

The verse 12 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 soll durch dich gebaut werden, was lange wüst gelegen ist; und wirst Grund legen, der für und für bleibe; und sollst heißen: Der die Lücken verzäunt und die Wege bessert, daß man da wohnen möge.
Y edificarán los de ti los desiertos antiguos; los cimientos de generación y generación levantarás: y serás llamado reparador de portillos, restaurador de calzadas para habitar.
Los tuyos reconstruirán las ruinas antiguas; levantarás los cimientos de generación en generación. Te llamarán reparador de brechas, restaurador de caminos para habitar.
Les tiens rebâtiront sur d'anciennes ruines, Tu relèveras des fondements antiques; On t'appellera réparateur des brèches, Celui qui restaure les chemins, qui rend le pays habitable.
E quelli che usciranno di te riedificheranno i luoghi già ab antico deserti; tu ridirizzerai i fondamenti di molte età addietro; e sarai chiamato: Ristorator delle ruine, Racconciator de’ sentieri, da potere abitare
E os que de ti procederem edificarão as antigas ruínas; e levantarás os fundamentos de geração em geração; e chamar-te-ão reparador das roturas, e restaurador de veredas para morar.
你們中間必有人起來修造久已荒廢之處, 立起代代相承的根基。 你必稱為修補裂痕的, 和重修路徑給人居住的。
