Isaiah 61:1–3
Handwriting in Hebrew
English Translation from the New American Bible

61:1 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me;
He has sent me to bring good news to the afflicted,
to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
release to the prisoners,
61:2 To announce a year of favor from the Lord
and a day of vindication by our God;
To comfort all who mourn;
61:3 to place on those who mourn in Zion
a diadem instead of ashes,
To give them oil of gladness instead of mourning,
a glorious mantle instead of a faint spirit.
They will be called oaks of justice,
the planting of the Lord to show his glory.
