Isaiah 61:1-3

1The 1Spirit of the Lord 2God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To 3bring good news to the 45afflicted; He has sent me to 6bind up the brokenhearted, To 7proclaim liberty to captives And 8freedom to prisoners;2To 9proclaim the favorable year of the Lord And the 10day of vengeance of our God; To 11comfort all who mourn,3To 12grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The 13oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called 1415oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
