The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon
me; because the LORD hath anointed
me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound; To proclaim the
acceptable year of the LORD, and the day
of vengeance of our God; to comfort
all that mourn; To appoint unto them
that mourn in Zion, to 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,
the planting of the LORD, that he
might be glorified. And they shall
build the old wastes, they shall raise up
the former desolations, and they shall
repair the waste cities, the desolations
of many generations. And strangers
shall stand and feed your flocks,
me; because the LORD hath anointed
me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound; To proclaim the
acceptable year of the LORD, and the day
of vengeance of our God; to comfort
all that mourn; To appoint unto them
that mourn in Zion, to 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,
the planting of the LORD, that he
might be glorified. And they shall
build the old wastes, they shall raise up
the former desolations, and they shall
repair the waste cities, the desolations
of many generations. And strangers
shall stand and feed your flocks,
and the sons of the alien shall be your
plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye
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.
For your 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. 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. 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. 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, as a
bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
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
them. 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. 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, as a
bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
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 righteousness and praise to spring
forth before all the nations.
