A repeating theme seems to be coming through: Bless other and you will be blessed.
10. And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday.
A few words from the Hebrew:
נֶפֶשׁ
nephesh (neh'·fesh): a breathing creature or vitality
עָנָה
anah (ä·nä): to depress
שָׂבַע
saba (sä·vah): to sate (fill to satisfaction)
זָרַח
zarach (zä·rakh): to irradiate (or shoot forth beams)
אֲפֵלָה
aphelah (af·ā·lä): duskiness; misfortune
צֹהַר
tsohar (tsō'·har): a light (window): dual double light (midday, noon, window)
Feed the hungry with your every breath, fill to satisfaction the depressed. Then light will shoot for4th beams into the darkness, like a window bringing the light of midday in the duskiness of misfortune.
