Isaiah 61:1-3

Expanded Bible

61 The Lord God has put his Spirit in me,
    because the Lord has ·appointed [anointed] me to ·tell [bring] the good news to the poor.
    He has sent me to ·comfort [bind up] those whose hearts are broken,
to tell the captives they are free,
    and to tell the prisoners they are released.
² He has sent me to announce the ·time when the Lord will show his kindness [year of the Lord’s favor; ^Can allusion to the Year of Jubilee; Lev. 25:10; Luke 4:18–19]
    and the ·time when our God will punish evil people [^Lday of vengeance of our God].
He has sent me to comfort all those who ·are sad [mourn]
³     and to help the ·sorrowing [mourning] people of ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Clocation of the Temple; 59:20].
I will give them a ·crown [garland; headdress] to replace their ashes,
    and the oil of ·gladness [joy] to replace their ·sorrow [mourning],
    and ·clothes [a garment] of praise to replace their ·spirit of sadness [discouragement; heavy heart].
Then they will be called ·Trees of Goodness [or Oaks of Righteousness],
    trees planted by the Lord to show his ·greatness [glory; ^Cmanifest presence].
