Dual Panel1The Spirit <07307> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> [is] upon me; because the LORD <03068> hath anointed <04886> (8804) me to preach good tidings <01319> (8763) unto the meek <06035>_; he hath sent <07971> (8804) me to bind up <02280> (8800) the brokenhearted <07665> (8737) <03820>_, to proclaim <07121> (8800) liberty <01865> to the captives <07617> (8803)_, and the opening of the prison <06495> to [them that are] bound <0631> (8803)_;
2To proclaim <07121> (8800) the acceptable <07522> year <08141> of the LORD <03068>_, and the day <03117> of vengeance <05359> of our God <0430>_; to comfort <05162> (8763) all that mourn <057>_;
3To appoint <07760> (8800) unto them that mourn <057> in Zion <06726>_, to give <05414> (8800) unto them beauty <06287> for ashes <0665>_, the oil <08081> of joy <08342> for mourning <060>_, the garment <04594> of praise <08416> for the spirit <07307> of heaviness <03544>_; that they might be called <07121> (8795) trees <0352> of righteousness <06664>_, the planting <04302> of the LORD <03068>_, that he might be glorified <06286> (8692)_.
4And they shall build <01129> (8804) the old <05769> wastes <02723>_, they shall raise up <06965> (8787) the former <07223> desolations <08074> (8802)_, and they shall repair <02318> (8765) the waste <02721> cities <05892>_, the desolations <08074> (8802) of many <01755> generations <01755>_.
5And strangers <02114> (8801) shall stand <05975> (8804) and feed <07462> (8804) your flocks <06629>_, and the sons <01121> of the alien <05236> [shall be] your plowmen <0406> and your vinedressers <03755>_.
6But ye shall be named <07121> (8735) the Priests <03548> of the LORD <03068>_: [men] shall call <0559> (8735) you the Ministers <08334> (8764) of our God <0430>_: ye shall eat <0398> (8799) the riches <02428> of the Gentiles <01471>_, and in their glory <03519> shall ye boast <03235> (8691) yourselves.
7For your shame <01322> [ye shall have] double <04932>_; and [for] confusion <03639> they shall rejoice <07442> (8799) in their portion <02506>_: therefore in their land <0776> they shall possess <03423> (8799) the double <04932>_: everlasting <05769> joy <08057> shall be unto them.
8For I the LORD <03068> love <0157> (8802) judgment <04941>_, I hate <08130> (8802) robbery <01498> for burnt offering <05930>_; and I will direct <05414> (8804) their work <06468> in truth <0571>_, and I will make <03772> (8799) an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with them.
9And their seed <02233> shall be known <03045> (8738) among the Gentiles <01471>_, and their offspring <06631> among <08432> the people <05971>_: all that see <07200> (8802) them shall acknowledge <05234> (8686) them, that they [are] the seed <02233> [which] the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8765)_.
10I will greatly <07797> (8800) rejoice <07797> (8799) in the LORD <03068>_, my soul <05315> shall be joyful <01523> (8799) in my God <0430>_; for he hath clothed <03847> (8689) me with the garments <0899> of salvation <03468>_, he hath covered <03271> (8804) me with the robe <04598> of righteousness <06666>_, as a bridegroom <02860> decketh <03547> (8762) [himself] with ornaments <06287>_, and as a bride <03618> adorneth <05710> (8799) [herself] with her jewels <03627>_. {decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest}
11For as the earth <0776> bringeth forth <03318> (8686) her bud <06780>_, and as the garden <01593> causeth the things that are sown <02221> in it to spring forth <06779> (8686)_; so the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will cause righteousness <06666> and praise <08416> to spring forth <06779> (8686) before all the nations <01471>_.
