CHAP. LXI.
1 The Office of Christ. 4 The forwardnesse,
7 and blessings of the faithfull.
1
The note Spirit of the Lord
God is vpon me, because
the Lord hath anointed
me, to preach good tidings
vnto the meeke, hee
hath sent me to binde vp the broken
hearted, to proclaime libertie to the captiues,
and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound:
2
To proclaime the acceptable yere
of the Lord, and the day of vengeance
of our God, to comfort all that
mourne:
3
To appoint vnto them that mourne
in Zion, to giue vnto them beautie for
ashes, the oyle of ioy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heauinesse,
that they might be called trees
of righteousnesse, the planting of the
Lord, that he might be glorified.
4
¶ And they shall note build the olde
wastes, they shall raise vp the former
desolations, and they shall repaire the
waste cities, the desolations of many
generations.
5
And strangers shall stand and
-- --
The duetie of Watchmen.
feed your flockes, and the sonnes of the
alient shalbe your plowmen, and your
Uine-dressers.
6
But ye shalbe 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 you boast your selues.
7
¶ For your shame you shall haue
double; and for confusion they shall
reioyce in their portion: therefore in
their land they shal possesse the double:
euerlasting ioy shalbe vnto them.
8
For I the Lord loue Iudgement,
I hate robbery for burnt offering,
and I will direct their worke in
trueth, and I will make an euerlasting
Couenant with them.
9
And their seed shalbe knowen 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 reioyce in the
Lord, my soule shalbe ioyfull in my
God: for he hath clothed me with the
garments of saluation, he hath couered
me with the robe of righteousnes, as a
bridegrome note decketh himselfe with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herselfe
with her iewels.
11
For as the earth bringeth foorth
her bud, and as the garden causeth the
things that are sowen in it, to spring
foorth: so the Lord God will cause
righteousnes and praise to spring forth
before all the nations.
