Isaiah 61

1 The spirit of the Lord GODis 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;RV1885 — Isaiah 61:1

2 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;RV1885 — Isaiah 61:2

3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland 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.RV1885 — Isaiah 61:3

4 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.RV1885 — Isaiah 61:4

6 But ye shall be named the priests of the Lord: men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.RV1885 — Isaiah 61:6

7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.RV1885 — Isaiah 61:7
