1	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# ;
			2	To proclaim# the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort# all that mourn;
			3	To appoint# unto them that mourn in Zion, to give# unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called# trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified# .
			4	And they shall build# the old wastes, they shall raise up# the former desolations# , and they shall repair# the waste cities, the desolations# of many generations.
			5	And strangers# shall stand# and feed# your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
			6	But ye shall be named# the Priests of the LORD: men shall call# you the Ministers# of our God: ye shall eat# the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast# yourselves.
			7	For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice# in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess# the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
			8	For I the LORD love# judgment, I hate# robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct# their work in truth, and I will make# an everlasting covenant with them.
			9	And their seed shall be known# among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see# them shall acknowledge# them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed# .
			10	I will greatly# rejoice# in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful# in my God; for he hath clothed# me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered# me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh# himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth# herself with her jewels. [decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest]
			11	For as the earth bringeth forth# her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth# ; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth# before all the nations.
