Isaiah 61:1
|
|
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because
the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening
of the prison to them that are bound; |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 61:2 |
|
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
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 beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he might 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 the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 61:6 |
|
But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD:
men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 61:7 |
|
For your shame ye shall have double; and for
confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall
possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 61:8 |
|
For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery
for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an
everlasting covenant with them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 61:9 |
|
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles,
and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 61:10 |
|
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, 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 ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 61:11 |
|
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and
as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord
God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. |
