Isaiah 61

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 61 of 66

1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me, because Jehovah has anointed Me to bear good news to the poor one. He has sent Me to bind up the broken of heart, to proclaim liberty to captives, and complete opening to the ones being bound;

2 to call out the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all those mourning;

3 to appoint to the mourning ones of Zion, to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so that one calls them trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, in order to beautify Himself.
