The Year of the LORD’s Favor
(Luke 4:16–30)
1The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is on MeH5921,becauseH3282 the LORDH3068 has anointed MeH4886to preach good newsH1319 to the poorH6035.He has sent MeH7971 to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665H3820,to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617and freedomH6495 to the prisonersH631,12to proclaimH7121 the yearH8141 of the LORD’sH3068 favorH75222and the dayH3117 of our God’sH430 vengeanceH5359,to comfortH5162 allH3605 who mournH57,3to consoleH7760 the mournersH57 in ZionH6726—to giveH5414 them a crown of beautyH6287 forH8478 ashesH665,the oilH8081 of joyH8342 forH8478 mourningH60,and a garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 forH8478 a spiritH7307 of despairH3544.So they will be calledH7121 oaksH352 of righteousnessH6664,the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that He may be glorifiedH6286.4They will rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723;they will restoreH6965 the places longH7223 devastatedH8074;they will renewH2318 the ruinedH2721 citiesH5892,the desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.5StrangersH2114 will standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocksH6629,and foreignersH1121H5236 will be your plowmenH406 and vinedressersH3755.6But youH859 will be calledH7121 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068;they will speakH559 of you as ministersH8334 of our GodH430;you will feed onH398 the wealthH2428 of nationsH1471,and you will boastH3235 in their richesH3519.7InsteadH8478 of shameH1322, My people will have a double portionH4932,and instead of humiliationH3639, they will rejoiceH7442 in their shareH2506;and soH3651 they will inheritH3423 a double portionH4932 in their landH776,and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 will beH1961 theirs.
8ForH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068, loveH157 justiceH4941;I hateH8130 robberyH1498 and iniquityH5766;in My faithfulnessH571 I will give themH5414 their recompenseH6468and makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.9Their descendantsH2233 will be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471,and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peoplesH5971.AllH3605 who see themH7200 will acknowledgeH5234thatH3588 theyH1992 are a peopleH2233 the LORDH3068 has blessedH1288.
10I will rejoice greatlyH7797 in the LORDH3068,my soulH5315 will exultH1523 in my GodH430;forH3588 He has clothed meH3847 with garmentsH899 of salvationH3468and wrapped meH3271 in a robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666,as a bridegroomH2860 wears a priestlyH3547 headdressH6287,as a brideH3618 adorns herselfH5710 with her jewelsH3627.11ForH3588 as the earthH776 brings forthH3318 its growthH6780,and as a gardenH1593 enables seedH2221 to spring upH6779,soH3651 the LordH136 GODH3069 will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416to spring upH6779 beforeH5048 allH3605 the nationsH1471.
