[1]The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886[H8804] me to preach good tidingsH1319[H8763] unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971[H8804] me to bind upH2280[H8800] the brokenheartedH7665[H8737][H3820], to proclaimH7121[H8800] libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617[H8803], and the opening of the prisonH6495 H631to them that are boundH8803
[2]To proclaimH7121[H8800] the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162[H8763] all that mournH57;
[3]To appointH7760[H8800] unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414[H8800] unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121[H8795] treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.[H8692]
[4]And they shall buildH1129[H8804] the oldH5769 wastesH2723, they shall raise upH6965[H8787] the formerH7223 desolationsH8074[H8802], and they shall repairH2318[H8765] the wasteH2721 citiesH5892, the desolationsH8074[H8802] of manyH1755 generationsH1755.
[5]And strangersH2114[H8801] shall standH5975[H8804] and feedH7462[H8804] your flocksH6629, and the sonsH1121 of the alienH5236 shall be your plowmenH406 and your vinedressersH3755.
[6]But ye shall be namedH7121[H8735] the PriestsH3548 of the LORDH3068: men shall callH559[H8735] you the MinistersH8334[H8764] of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398[H8799] the richesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boastH3235 yourselvesH8691.
[7]For your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442[H8799] in their portionH2506: therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423[H8799] the doubleH4932: everlastingH5769 joy shall be unto themH8057.
[8]For I the LORDH3068 loveH157[H8802] judgmentH4941, I hateH8130[H8802] robberyH1498 for burnt offeringH5930; and I will directH5414[H8804] their workH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH3772[H8799] an everlastingH5769 covenant with themH1285.
[9]And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045[H8738] among the GentilesH1471, and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: all that seeH7200[H8802] them shall acknowledgeH5234[H8686] them, that they are the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288.[H8765]
[10]I will greatlyH7797[H8800] rejoiceH7797[H8799] in the LORDH3068, my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523[H8799] in my GodH430; for he hath clothedH3847[H8689] me with the garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, he hath coveredH3271[H8804] me with the robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, as a bridegroomH2860 deckethH3547[H8762] himself with ornamentsH6287, and as a brideH3618 adornethH5710[H8799] herself with her jewelsH3627.
[11]For as the earthH776 bringeth forthH3318[H8686] her budH6780, and as the gardenH1593 causeth the things that are sownH2221 in it to spring forthH6779[H8686]; so the LordH136 GODH3069 will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to spring forthH6779[H8686] before all the nationsH1471.
