Isaiah 61:1-3 NAS
The Spirit of the Lord
God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the
afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim the favorable
year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who
mourn, to grant to those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead
of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise
instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of
righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
