Berean Standard Bible

Isaiah 61:1-3

1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me,because the LORD has anointed Meto preach good news to the poor.He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim liberty to the captivesand freedom to the prisoners,12to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor2and the day of our God’s vengeance,to comfort all who mourn,3to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes,the oil of joy for mourning,and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.So they will be called oaks of righteousness,the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
