The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the
LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind
up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from
darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD'S favor and the
day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those
who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of
a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting
of the LORD for the display of his splendor. |
