The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is on me; becauseH3282 the LORDH3068 has anointedH4886 me to preachH1319 goodH1319 tidingsH1319 to the meek;H6035 he has sentH7971 me to bindH2280 up the brokenhearted,H7665 H3820 to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captives,H7628 and the openingH6495 of the prisonH6495 to them that are bound;H631
2
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORD,H3068 and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our God;H430 to comfortH5162 allH3605 that mourn;H57
3
To appointH7760 to them that mournH57 in Zion,H6726 to giveH5414 to them beautyH6287 for ashes,H665 the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourning,H60 the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heaviness;H3544 that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousness,H6664 the plantingH4302 of the LORD,H3068 that he might be glorified.H6286
4
And they shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 wastes,H2723 they shall raiseH6965 up the formerH7223 desolations,H8074 and they shall repairH2318 the wasteH2721 cities,H5892 the desolationsH8074 of many generations.H1755
5
And strangersH2114 shall standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocks,H6629 and the sonsH1121 of the alienH5236 shall be your plowmenH406 and your vinedressers.H3755
6
But you shall be namedH7121 the PriestsH3548 of the LORD:H3068 men shall callH7121 you the MinistersH8334 of our God:H430 you shall eatH398 the richesH2428 of the Gentiles,H1471 and in their gloryH3519 shall you boastH3235 yourselves.
7
For your shameH1322 you shall have double;H4932 and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portion:H2506 thereforeH3651 in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 the double:H4932 everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be to them.
8
For I the LORDH3068 loveH157 judgment,H4941 I hateH8130 robberyH1498 for burntH5930 offering; and I will directH5414 their workH6468 in truth,H571 and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.
9
And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the Gentiles,H1471 and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the people:H5971 allH3605 that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 has blessed.H1288
10
I will greatly rejoiceH7797 in the LORD,H3068 my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523 in my God;H430 for he has clothedH3847 me with the garmentsH899 of salvation,H3468 he has coveredH3271 me with the robeH4598 of righteousness,H6666 as a bridegroomH2860 decksH3547 himself with ornaments,H6287 and as a brideH3618 adornsH5710 herself with her jewels.H3627
11
For as the earthH776 bringsH3318 forthH3318 her bud,H6779 and as the gardenH1593 causes the things that are sownH2221 in it to springH6779 forth; soH3651 the LordH136 GODH3069 will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to springH6779 forth beforeH5048 allH3605 the nations.H1471
