61:001

The spirit of the L-rd GOD is upon me; because HaShem hath anointed me to bring good tidings unto the humble; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the eyes to them that are bound

61:002

To proclaim the year of HaShem'S good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our G-d; to comfort all that mourn

61:003

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of HaShem, wherein He might glory

61:004

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall renew the waste cities, the desolations of many generations

61:005

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers

61:006

But ye shall be named the priests of HaShem, men shall call you the ministers of our G-d; ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their splendour shall ye revel

61:007

For your shame which was double, and for that they rejoiced: 'Confusion is their portion'; therefore in their land they shall possess double, everlasting joy shall be unto them

61:008

For I HaShem love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them

61:009

And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which HaShem hath blessed

61:010

I will greatly rejoice in HaShem, my soul shall be joyful in my G-d; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of victory, as a bridegroom putteth on a priestly diadem, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels

61:011

For as the earth bringeth forth her growth, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the L-rd GOD will cause victory and glory to spring forth before all the nations
