1 The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah anointed me to announce good news to the afflicted, he sent me to bind up to the broken of heart, to call freedom to the captives, and the opening of the prison to the bound. 2 To call the year of acceptance to Jehovah, and the day of vengeance to our God; to comfort all those mourning; 3 To set to those mourning in Zion, to give to them adorning instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the vestment of praise for the spirit of faintness; and it shall be called to them, The mighty trees of justice of the planting of Jehovah, to be honored. Isaiah 61:1-3, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
