Isaiah chapter 61



1    THE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to
    preach good tidings unto the meed; 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;

2    To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
    comfort all that mourn;

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.

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.

5    And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be
    your plowmen and your vinedressers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 nations.

    Isaiah chapter 61 - KJV
