58:8
Ecclesiastes says that God has set eternity in the heart of man (Ecc 3:11). There is a desire to be whole, and a desire for glory, for significance. In our rebellious state the search for healing or wholeness is futile, and the quest for glory and significance leads us down all sorts of wrong and evil paths. But when we end our rebellion and turn to God things change. Then our light will dawn and our healing will come. Our righteousness will go before us and the glory of the Lord will protect our rearguard. Everything changes.
58:9
Prior to this the people called but God did not answer. God seemed to be far off. But after repentance all this changes. We will call and He will answer, when we cry for help God will be near at hand. But we must get rid of the yoke of oppression, ie we must not oppress others, me must not be accusing others. Accusation is the devil’s job! We do not want to be associated with that. We must get rid of malicious talk.
