Isaiah 61: THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon YOU, because the Lord has anointed and qualified YOU to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent YOU to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound. YOU are to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And YOU shall rebuild the ancient ruins; YOU shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed YOUR flocks, and foreigners shall be YOUR plowmen and vinedressers. YOU shall be called a priest of the Lord; people will speak of YOU as a minister of our God. YOU shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of YOUR captors] shall be YOURS. Instead of YOUR[former] shame, YOU shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach, YOU shall rejoice in YOUR portion. Therefore in YOUR land YOU shall possess double [what YOU had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be YOURS.
