and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.[a]
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,[b]

festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
