Isaiah 61

1The SpiritH7307 of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sentH7971 me to bindH631 up the broken-hearted, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prison to them that are boundH631; 2to proclaimH7121 the yearH8141 of Jehovah’s favorH7522, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57; 3to appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them a garland for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garment of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heaviness; that they may be calledH7121 trees of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of Jehovah, that he may be glorifiedH6286.

4And they shall buildH1129 the old wastesH2723, they shall raiseH6965 up the formerH7223 desolations, and they shall repair the wasteH2723 citiesH5892, the desolations of many generationsH1755. 5And strangersH2114 shall standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocksH6629, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers. 6But ye shall be named the priestsH3548 of Jehovah; men shall callH7121 you the ministers of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398 the wealthH2428 of the nationsH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boast yourselves. 7Instead of your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portionH2506: thereforeH3651 in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 doubleH4932; everlasting joyH8057 shall beH1961 unto them. 8For I, Jehovah, loveH157 justiceH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 with iniquity; and I will giveH5414 them their recompenseH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH5414 an everlasting covenantH1285 with them. 9And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471, and their offspringH2233 among the peoplesH5971; all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seedH2233 which Jehovah hath blessedH1288.

10I will greatly rejoiceH1523 in Jehovah, my soulH5315 shall be joyful in my GodH430; for he hath clothedH3847 me with the garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, he hath covered me with the robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a brideH3618 adorneth herself with her jewels. 11For as the earthH776 bringeth forthH3318 its bud, and as the gardenH1593 causeth the things that are sown in it to springH6779 forthH3318; so the LordH136 Jehovah will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to springH6779 forthH3318 before all the nationsH1471.
