^20 (A)To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death,

^7 (A)Who executes justice for the oppressed,
^(B)Who gives food to the hungry.
^(C)The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

61 “The ^(A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord ^(B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me ^(C)to ^[a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim ^(D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
^2 (E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And ^(F)the day of vengeance of our God;
^(G)To comfort all who mourn,
³ To ^[b]console those who mourn in Zion,
^(H)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
^(I)The planting of the Lord, ^(J)that He may be glorified.”

⁹ “Rejoice ^(B)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, ^(C)your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
¹⁰ I ^(D)will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The ^(E)battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be ^(F)‘from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.’

¹¹ “As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your ^(G)prisoners free from the waterless pit.
¹² Return to the stronghold,
^(H)You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore ^(I)double to you.

¹⁷ Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who ^[a]did not open the house of his prisoners?’
