ASVs · chapter 61
1 T he SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 JehovahH3068 is upon me; because JehovahH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meek;H6035 he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the broken-hearted,H7665 to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captives,H7617 and the opening [of the prison]H6495 to them that are bound;H631
2 to proclaimH7121 the yearH8141 of Jehovah'sH3068 favor,H7522 and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our God;H430 to comfortH5162 all that mourn;H57
3 to appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in Zion,H6726 to giveH5414 unto them a garlandH6287 for ashes,H665 the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourning,H60 the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heaviness;H3544 that they may be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousness,H6664 the plantingH4302 of Jehovah,H3068 that he may be glorified.H6286
4 And they shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 wastes,H2723 they shall raise upH6965 the formerH7223 desolations,H8074 and they shall repairH2318 the wasteH2721 cities,H5892 the desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generations.H1755
5 And strangersH2114 shall standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocks,H6629 and foreignersH5236 H1121 shall be your plowmenH406 and your vinedressers.H3755
6 But ye shall be namedH7121 the priestsH3548 of Jehovah;H3068 men shall callH559 you the ministersH8334 of our God:H430 ye shall eatH398 the wealthH2428 of the nations,H1471 and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boastH3235 yourselves.
7 Instead of your shameH1322 [ye shall have] double;H4932 and instead of dishonorH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portion:H2506 therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 double;H4932 everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be unto them.
8 For I, Jehovah,H3068 loveH157 justice,H4941 I hateH8130 robberyH1498 with iniquity;H5930 and I will giveH5414 them their recompenseH6468 in truth,H571 and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.
9 And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the nations,H1471 and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peoples;H5971 all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which JehovahH3068 hath blessed.H1288
10 I will greatlyH7797 rejoiceH7797 in Jehovah,H3068 my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523 in my God;H430 for he hath clothedH3847 me with the garmentsH899 of salvation,H3468 he hath coveredH3271 me with the robeH4598 of righteousness,H6666 as a bridegroomH2860 deckethH3547 himself with a garland,H6287 and as a brideH3618 adornethH5710 herself with her jewels.H3627
11 For as the earthH776 bringeth forthH3318 its bud,H6780 and as the gardenH1593 causeth the things that are sownH2221 in it to spring forth;H6779 so the LordH136 JehovahH3069 will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to spring forthH6779 before all the nations.H1471
