The Word
Isiah 61:1-3 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; ²to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; ³to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the sprit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (KJ)
