Isaiah 61:1–5
61 “The aSpirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord bhas anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me cto 1heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim dliberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 eTo proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And fthe day of vengeance of our God;
gTo comfort all who mourn,
3 To 2console those who mourn in Zion,
hTo give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
iThe planting of the Lord, jthat He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall krebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 lStrangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
