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 
    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;

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 wasted 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 the nations.

    Isaiah Chapter 61 - KJV
