# Isaiah 61 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Good News of Salvation
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 61
|
|
###### 1 "The Spirit of the Lord God _is_ upon Me,
|
|
Because the Lord has anointed Me
|
|
To preach good tidings to the poor;
|
|
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
|
|
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
|
|
And the opening of the prison to _those who are_ bound;
|
|
|
|
###### 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
|
|
And the day of vengeance of our God;
|
|
To comfort all who mourn,
|
|
|
|
###### 3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
|
|
To give them beauty 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 the Lord, that He may be glorified."
|
|
|
|
###### 4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
|
|
They shall raise up the former desolations,
|
|
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
|
|
The desolations of many generations.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
|
|
And the sons of the foreigner
|
|
_Shall be_ your plowmen and your vinedressers.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
|
|
They shall call you the servants of our God.
|
|
You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
|
|
And in their glory you shall boast.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Instead of your shame _you shall have_ double _honor,_
|
|
And _instead of_ confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
|
|
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
|
|
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "For I, the Lord, love justice;
|
|
I hate robbery for burnt offering;
|
|
I will direct their work in truth,
|
|
And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
|
|
And their offspring among the people.
|
|
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
|
|
That they _are_ the posterity _whom_ the Lord has blessed."
|
|
|
|
###### 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
|
|
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
|
|
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
|
|
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
|
|
As a bridegroom decks _himself_ with ornaments,
|
|
And as a bride adorns _herself_ with her jewels.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,
|
|
As the garden causes 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.
