Isaiah 61
01 The aSpirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me bto bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim cliberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
02 dTo proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and ethe day of vengeance of our God; fto comfort all that mourn;
03 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, ito give unto 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, hthe planting of the LORD, gthat he might be glorified.
04 And they shall jbuild the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
05 And kstrangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
06 But lye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
07 For myour shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
08 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, nand I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, oas a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause prighteousness and qpraise to spring forth before all the nations.
