Isaiah 61
1
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted , to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3
To appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4
And they will build the old waste, they will raise up the former desolations, and they will repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5
And strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien will be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6
But you will be named the Priests of the LORD: men will call you the Ministers of our God: you will eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory will you boast yourselves.
7
For your shame you will have double and for confusion they will rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they will possess the double: everlasting joy will be to them.
8
For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9
And their seed will be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them will acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed.
10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul will be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11
For as the earth brings forward her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forward; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forward before all the nations.
