Isaiah 1:19
KJV—If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall
eat the good of the land.

Amp—If you are willing and obedient, you
shall eat the good of the land.

Moffatt—If only you are willing to obey,
you shall feed on the best of the land.

NIV—If you are willing and obedient, you
will eat the best from the land.

Isaiah 58:10-11
KJV—If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall
thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness
be as the noonday: And the Lord shall
guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul
in drought, and make fat thy bones: and
thou shalt be like a watered garden, and
like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Amp—If you pour out that with which you
sustain your own life for the hungry, and
satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall
your light rise in darkness and your obscurity
and gloom be as the noonday. And the
Lord shall guide you continually, and satisfy
you in drought and in dry places, and make
strong your bones. And you shall be like a
watered garden and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.

Moffatt—If you bestow your bread upon
the hungry, and relieve men in misery, then
light shall dawn for you in darkness, your
dull hour shall be bright as noon, and evermore
shall the Eternal guide you, guarding
you without fail; he will refresh you in dry
places, and renew your strength, till you are
like a watered garden, like an oasis with a
steadfast spring.

NIV—If you spend yourselves in behalf of
the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the
noonday. The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched
land and will strengthen your frame. You
will be like a well-watered garden, like a
spring whose waters never fail.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
KJV—Blessed is the man that trusteth in
the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For
he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the
river, and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be
careful in the year of drought, neither shall
cease from yielding fruit.

Amp—[Most] blessed is the man who believes
in, trusts in and relies on the Lord, and
whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For
he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
that spreads out its roots by the river, and
shall not see and fear when heat comes, but
his leaf shall be green; he shall not be
anxious and careful in the year of drought,
nor shall he cease from yielding fruit.

Moffatt—But happy he who relies on the
Eternal, with the Eternal for his confidence!
He is like a tree planted beside a stream,
reaching its roots to the water; untouched
by any fear of scorching heat, its leaves are
ever green, it goes on bearing fruit in days
of drought, and lives serene.

NIV—But blessed is the man who trusts in
the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He
will be like a tree planted by the water that
sends out its roots by the stream. It does
not fear when heat comes; its leaves are
always green. It has no worries in a year of
drought and never fails to bear fruit.
