Isaiah 49:9

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.

Isaiah 58:10

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
