Isaiah 61:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
61 1 He prophesieth that Christ shall be anointed, and sent to preach. 10 The joy of the faithful.
1 The (A)Spirit of the Lord God is [a]upon me, therefore hath the Lord anointed me: he hath sent me to preach good tidings unto the poor, to bind up the [b]broken hearted, to preach liberty to the [c]captives, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,
2 To preach the [d]acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of [e]vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn,
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, and to give unto them beauty for [f]ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of gladness for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called [g]trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
