Isaiah 61:1
|
|
The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because
Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening
of the prison to them that are bound; |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:2 |
|
to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and
the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:3 |
|
to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to
give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:4 |
|
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall
raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations
of many generations. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:5 |
|
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:6 |
|
But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah;
men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:7 |
|
Instead of your shame ye shall have double;
and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their
land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:8 |
|
For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery
with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make
an everlasting covenant with them. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:9 |
|
And their seed shall be known among the nations,
and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:10 |
|
I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall
be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he
hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself
with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. |
|
|
|
Isaiah 61:11 |
|
For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and
as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord
Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
