The Good News of Salvation
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;
And bthe day of vengeance of our God;
cTo comfort all who mourn,
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.”
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
| << Isaiah 61:1 | Isaiah 61:3 >> |
