Isaiah 61:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 61:2

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;

2 ^aTo proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
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.

5 ^aStrangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
