The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORDhathanointed me to preachgoodtidingsunto the meek; he hathsent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaimliberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to themthat are bound;
To appointuntothemthatmourn in Zion, to giveuntothembeauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; thattheymight be calledtrees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shallcall you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in theirgloryshall ye boastyourselves.
For yourshame ye shallhavedouble; and for confusiontheyshallrejoice in theirportion: therefore in theirlandtheyshallpossess the double: everlasting joy shall be untothem.
And theirseedshall be knownamong the Gentiles, and theiroffspringamong the people: all that see themshallacknowledgethem, thatthey are the seedwhich the LORDhathblessed.
I willgreatlyrejoice in the LORD, my soulshall be joyful in my God; for he hathclothed me with the garments of salvation, he hathcovered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroomdeckethhimselfwithornaments, and as a brideadornethherselfwith her jewels.
For as the earthbringethforth her bud, and as the gardencauseth the thingsthat are sown in it to springforth; so the Lord GOD willcauserighteousness and praise to springforthbefore all the nations.
