CHAPTER 61.
THE spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he
hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to
preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the
day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
3 To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them
a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the
spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the
planting of the Lord to glorify hint.
4 And they shall build the places that have been waste
from of old, and shall raise up ancient ruins, and shall repair the desolate
cities, that were destroyed for generation and generation.
5 And strangers shall stand and shall feed your flocks:
and the sons of strangers shall be your husbandmen, and the dressers of your
vines.
6 But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to
you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the
Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
7 For your double confusion and shame, they shall
praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land,
everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8 For I am the Lord that love judgment, and hate
robbery in a holocaust: and I will make their work in truth, and I will make a
perpetual covenant with them.
9 And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles,
and their offspring in the midst of peoples: all that shall see them, shall
know them, that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul
shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of
salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom
decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the
garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to
spring forth, and praise before all the nations.
