THE aSpirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD bhath anointed me cto preach good tidings unto the 1meek; he hath sent me to dbind up the brokenhearted, eto proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
fTo proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; gto comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, hto give unto them beauty for ashes, ithe oil of joy for mourning, jthe garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called ktrees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
But ye shall be named nthe Priests of the LORD: omen shall call you the Ministers of our God: pye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
For sI the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I twill direct their work in truth, and uI will make an everlasting covenant with them.
xI will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for yhe hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom 2decketh 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; zso the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
