THE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019609">2</a>. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019610">3</a>. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019611">4</a>. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019612">5</a>. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019613">6</a>. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019614">7</a>. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019615">8</a>. For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019616">9</a>. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019617">10</a>. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019618">11</a>. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.</li>
