Isaiah 61
New American Standard Bible 2020
Exaltation of the Afflicted
1The 1SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 2GodH3068 is upon me, BecauseH3282 the LordH3068 anointedH4886 me To 3bringH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319 to the 4humbleH6035; He has sentH7971 me to 5bindH2280 upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665H3820, To 6proclaimH7121 7releaseH1865 to captivesH7617 And 8freedomH6495 to prisonersH631;2To 9proclaimH7121 the favorableH7522 yearH8141 of the LordH3068 And the 10dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; To 11comfortH5162 allH3605 who mournH57,3To 12grantH7760 those who mournH57 in ZionH6726, GivingH5414 them a garlandH6287 insteadH8478 ofH8478 ashesH665, The 13oilH8081 of gladnessH8342 insteadH8478 ofH8478 mourningH60, The cloakH4594 of praiseH8416 insteadH8478 ofH8478 a disheartenedH3544 spiritH7307. So they will be calledH7121 1415oaksH352 of righteousnessH6664, The plantingH4302 of the LordH3068, that He may be glorifiedH6286.
4Then they will 16rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723, They will raiseH6965 upH6965 the formerH7223 devastationsH8074; And they will repairH2318 the ruinedH2721 citiesH5892, The desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.517StrangersH2114 will standH5975 and pastureH7462 your flocksH6629, And 18foreignersH1121H5236 will be your farmersH406 and your vinedressersH3755.6But you will be calledH7121 the 19priestsH3548 of the LordH3068; You will be spokenH7121 ofH7121 as 20ministersH8334 of our GodH430. You will eatH398 the 21wealthH2428 of nationsH1471, And you will boastH559 in their 22richesH3519.7InsteadH8478 ofH8478 your 23shameH1322 you will have a 24doubleH4932 portion, And instead of humiliationH3639 they will shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 over their portionH2506. ThereforeH3651 they will possessH3423 a doubleH4932 portion in their landH776, 25EverlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be theirsH1992.8For I, the LordH3068, 26loveH157 justiceH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 27in the burntH5930 offeringH5930; And I will faithfullyH571 giveH5414 them their rewardH6468, And makeH3772 an 28everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.9Then their offspringH2233 will be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471, And their descendantsH6631 in the midstH8432 of the peoplesH5971. AllH3605 who seeH7200 them will recognizeH5234 them BecauseH3588 they are the 29offspringH2233 whom the LordH3068 has blessedH1288.
10I will 30rejoiceH7797 greatlyH7797 in the LordH3068, My soulH5315 will beH1523 joyfulH1523 in 31my GodH430; For He has 32clothedH3847 me with garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, He has wrappedH5844 me with a robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, As a groomH2860 putsH3547 onH3547 a turbanH6287, And 33as a brideH3618 adornsH5710 herself with her jewelsH3627.11For as the 34earthH776 producesH3318 its sproutsH6780, And as a gardenH1593 causes the thingsH2221 sownH2221 in it to springH6779 upH6779, SoH3651 the LordH136 35GodH3068 will 36cause 37righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 To springH6779 upH6779 beforeH5048 allH3605 the nationsH1471.
