1 The Spirit of the _the_Lord_GOD_Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me; because _the_LORD_Jehovah 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;( Luk 4:18; 2Co 3:17 )
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of _the_LORD_Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;( Luk 4:19 )
3 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_Jehovah, that he might be glorified.
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.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien
shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of
_the_LORD_Jehovah:
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.
7 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.
8 For I
_the_LORD_Jehovah 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.
9 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_Jehovah hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in
_the_LORD_Jehovah, 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.
11 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
_the_Lord_GOD_Sovereign Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
