Isa 61
1 The Anointed One
Spirit of
the LORD is upon me, because he anointed me to announce good news to
the poor. He has sent me to heal the ones being broken in the heart; to proclaim [
2to captives
1a release], and [
2to
the blind
1recovery of sight];
2to call [
2year
3of the LORD 1the acceptable], and day of recompense; to comfort all the ones mourning;
3to give to the ones mourning for Zion glory instead of ashes; an anointing of gladness to them
that mourn; according to an apparel of glory instead of a spirit of indifference. And they shall be called generations of righteousness, a
thing planted of
the LORD for glory.
4And they shall build up [
2wildernesses
1everlasting] being made quite desolate prior. They shall rise up and shall revive cities of wildernesses having been made quite desolate for generations.
5And [
2shall come
1foreigners] tending your sheep, and Philistines as plowmen and vine dressers.
6And you [
2priests
3of the LORD 1shall be called]. Ministers of our God -- it shall be said to you. [
2strength
3of nations
1You shall devour], and in their riches you shall be admired.
7Thus of a second
time they shall inherit the land, and [
2gladness
1everlasting]
is above their head.
8For I am
the LORD, the one loving righteousness, and detesting seizures by injustice. And I will give their effort to
the just ones, and [
3covenant
2an eternal
1I shall ordain] with them.
9And [
2shall be known
3among
4the
5nations
1their seed], and their progeny in
the midst of the peoples. All seeing them will recognize them, for these are a seed being blessed by God.
10And in gladness they shall be glad over
the LORD. Let [
2exult
1my soul] over the
LORD! For he clothed me
with a cloak of deliverance, and an inner garment of gladness. As a groom, he put on me a mitre; and as a bride, he adorned me with an ornament.
11And as
the earth growing its flower, and as a garden [
2its seeds
1sprouts forth], so [
3will raise up
1the Lord
2the LORD] righteousness and a leap for joy before all the nations.
