What would happen if the house of Jacob fasted the way Yahweh chose?

If they did that their light would be broken open like the sunrise, their healing would quickly sprout up; their righteousness would go before them and the glory of Yahweh would be their rearguard. They would call and cry out for help and Yahweh would answer and say, "Here I am." [58:8; 58:9]

What would Yahweh do if the house of Jacob took away from among themselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness, if they provided for the hungry and satisfied the need of the distressed?

If they would do these things Yahweh would lead them continually and satisfy the dry region of their soul and strengthen their bones [58:9; 58:11]
