49:9 You will say 1 to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
and to those who are in dark dungeons, 2 ‘Emerge.’ 3
They will graze beside the roads;
on all the slopes they will find pasture.
58:10 You must 4 actively help the hungry
and feed the oppressed. 5
Then your light will dispel the darkness, 6
and your darkness will be transformed into noonday. 7
