1The Spirit7307 of the Lord136 GOD3069 is upon me; because the LORD3068 hath anointed4886 me to preach good tidings1319 unto the meek6035; he hath sent7971 me to bind up2280 the brokenhearted7665 3820, to proclaim7121 liberty1865 to the captives7617, and the opening of the prison6495 to them that are bound631;
2To proclaim7121 the acceptable7522 year8141 of the LORD3068, and the day3117 of vengeance5359 of our God430; to comfort5162 all that mourn57;
3To appoint7760 unto them that mourn57 in Zion6726, to give5414 unto them beauty6287 for ashes665, the oil8081 of joy8342 for mourning60, the garment4594 of praise8416 for the spirit7307 of heaviness3544; that they might be called7121 trees352 of righteousness6664, the planting4302 of the LORD3068, that he might be glorified6286.
4And they shall build1129 the old5769 wastes2723, they shall raise up6965 the former7223 desolations8074, and they shall repair2318 the waste2721 cities5892, the desolations8074 of many1755 generations1755.
5And strangers2114 shall stand5975 and feed7462 your flocks6629, and the sons1121 of the alien5236 shall be your plowmen406 and your vinedressers3755.
6But ye shall be named7121 the Priests3548 of the LORD3068: men shall call559 you the Ministers8334 of our God430: ye shall eat398 the riches2428 of the Gentiles1471, and in their glory3519 shall ye boast3235 yourselves.
7For your shame1322 ye shall have double4932; and for confusion3639 they shall rejoice7442 in their portion2506: therefore in their land776 they shall possess3423 the double4932: everlasting5769 joy8057 shall be unto them.
8For I the LORD3068 love157 judgment4941, I hate8130 robbery1498 for burnt offering5930; and I will direct5414 their work6468 in truth571, and I will make3772 an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with them.
9And their seed2233 shall be known3045 among the Gentiles1471, and their offspring6631 among8432 the people5971: all that see7200 them shall acknowledge5234 them, that they are the seed2233 which the LORD3068 hath blessed1288.
10I will greatly7797 rejoice7797 in the LORD3068, my soul5315 shall be joyful1523 in my God430; for he hath clothed3847 me with the garments899 of salvation3468, he hath covered3271 me with the robe4598 of righteousness6666, as a bridegroom2860 decketh3547 himself with ornaments6287, and as a bride3618 adorneth5710 herself with her jewels3627.
11For as the earth776 bringeth forth3318 her bud6780, and as the garden1593 causeth the things that are sown2221 in it to spring forth6779; so the Lord136 GOD3069 will cause righteousness6666 and praise8416 to spring forth6779 before all the nations1471.
