The Spirit{H7307} of the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3068} is upon me; because Jehovah{H3068} hath anointed{H4886} me to preach good tidings{H1319} unto the meek;{H6035} he hath sent{H7971} me to bind up{H2280} the broken-hearted,{H7665} to proclaim{H7121} liberty{H1865} to the captives,{H7617} and the opening [of the prison]{H6495} to them that are bound;{H631}

to proclaim{H7121} the year{H8141} of Jehovah's{H3068} favor,{H7522} and the day{H3117} of vengeance{H5359} of our God;{H430} to comfort{H5162} all that mourn;{H57}

to appoint{H7760} unto them that mourn{H57} in Zion,{H6726} to give{H5414} unto them a garland{H6287} for ashes,{H665} the oil{H8081} of joy{H8342} for mourning,{H60} the garment{H4594} of praise{H8416} for the spirit{H7307} of heaviness;{H3544} that they may be called{H7121} trees{H352} of righteousness,{H6664} the planting{H4302} of Jehovah,{H3068} that he may be glorified.{H6286}

And they shall build{H1129} the old{H5769} wastes,{H2723} they shall raise up{H6965} the former{H7223} desolations,{H8074} and they shall repair{H2318} the waste{H2721} cities,{H5892} the desolations{H8074} of many{H1755} generations.{H1755}

And strangers{H2114} shall stand{H5975} and feed{H7462} your flocks,{H6629} and foreigners{H5236} {H1121} shall be your plowmen{H406} and your vinedressers.{H3755}

But ye shall be named{H7121} the priests{H3548} of Jehovah;{H3068} men shall call{H559} you the ministers{H8334} of our God:{H430} ye shall eat{H398} the wealth{H2428} of the nations,{H1471} and in their glory{H3519} shall ye boast{H3235} yourselves.

Instead of your shame{H1322} [ye shall have] double;{H4932} and instead of dishonor{H3639} they shall rejoice{H7442} in their portion:{H2506} therefore in their land{H776} they shall possess{H3423} double;{H4932} everlasting{H5769} joy{H8057} shall be unto them.

For I, Jehovah,{H3068} love{H157} justice,{H4941} I hate{H8130} robbery{H1498} with iniquity;{H5930} and I will give{H5414} them their recompense{H6468} in truth,{H571} and I will make{H3772} an everlasting{H5769} covenant{H1285} with them.

And their seed{H2233} shall be known{H3045} among the nations,{H1471} and their offspring{H6631} among{H8432} the peoples;{H5971} all that see{H7200} them shall acknowledge{H5234} them, that they are the seed{H2233} which Jehovah{H3068} hath blessed.{H1288}

I will greatly{H7797} rejoice{H7797} in Jehovah,{H3068} my soul{H5315} shall be joyful{H1523} in my God;{H430} for he hath clothed{H3847} me with the garments{H899} of salvation,{H3468} he hath covered{H3271} me with the robe{H4598} of righteousness,{H6666} as a bridegroom{H2860} decketh{H3547} himself with a garland,{H6287} and as a bride{H3618} adorneth{H5710} herself with her jewels.{H3627}

For as the earth{H776} bringeth forth{H3318} its bud,{H6780} and as the garden{H1593} causeth the things that are sown{H2221} in it to spring forth;{H6779} so the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} will cause righteousness{H6666} and praise{H8416} to spring forth{H6779} before all the nations.{H1471}
