The Good News of Salvation
1 “The aSpirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord bhas anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me cto heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim dliberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Because the Lord bhas anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me cto heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim dliberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 aTo proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And bthe day of vengeance of our God;
cTo comfort all who mourn,
And bthe day of vengeance of our God;
cTo comfort all who mourn,
3 To1 console those who mourn in Zion,
aTo 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,
bThe planting of the Lord, cthat He may be glorified.”

4 And they shall arebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
