CHAP. LXI.
1 The office of Christ. 4 The forwardness, 7
and blessings of the faithful.
1 The note Spirit of the Lord God is upon
me; because the Lord hath anointed
me to publish good tidings to the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of
the Lord, and the day of vengeance of
our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint to them that mourn in
Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that
they may be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he
may be glorified.
4 ¶2; And they shall note build the old
wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the
waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed
your flocks, and the sons of the alien
shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers.
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of
the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers
of our God: note ye shall eat the riches
of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall
ye boast yourselves.
7 ¶2; 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 to them.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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
note decketh himself with ornaments, and as
a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 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.
