LSV ISA Chapter 61

◄ ISA 61 ► ║ ©

61 “[The] Spirit of Lord YHWH [is] on Me,
Because YHWH anointed Me
To proclaim tidings to the humble,
He sent Me to bind the broken of heart,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And an opening of bands to [those] bound. 2 To proclaim the year of the favor of YHWH,
And the day of vengeance of our God,
To comfort all mourners. 3 To appoint to mourners in Zion,
To give to them beauty instead of ashes,
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
A covering of praise for a faded spirit,
And He is calling to them, Trees of righteousness,
The planting of YHWH—to be beautified.” 4 And they have built the ancient ruins,
They raise up the desolations of the ancients,
And they have renewed ruined cities,
The desolations of generation and generation. 5 And strangers have stood and fed your flock,
And the sons of a foreigner
[Are] your farmers and your vinedressers. 6 And you are called priests of YHWH,
It is said of you [that you are] ministers of our God,
You consume the strength of nations,
And you boast yourselves in their glory. 7 Instead of your shame—double [honor],
And [instead of] confusion,
They rejoice in their portion,
Therefore they take possession in their land a second time,
Continuous joy [is] for them. 8 “For I [am] YHWH, loving judgment,
Hating plunder for a burnt-offering,
And I have given their wage in truth,
And I make a perpetual covenant for them. 9 And their seed has been known among the nations,
And their offspring in the midst of the peoples,
All their beholders acknowledge them,
For they [are] a seed YHWH has blessed.” 10 I greatly rejoice in YHWH,
My soul rejoices in my God,
For He clothed me with garments of salvation,
[And] covered me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom prepares ornaments,
And as a bride puts on her jewels. 11 For as the earth brings forth her shoots,
And as a garden causes its sown things to shoot up,
So Lord YHWH causes righteousness and praise
To shoot up before all the nations!
