61 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me,
    because Yahweh has anointed me,
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
    to bind up the brokenhearted,^[a]
to proclaim^[b] release to the captives
    and liberation to those who are bound,
² to proclaim^[c] the year of Yahweh’s favor,
    and our God’s day of vengeance,
to comfort all those in mourning,
³     to give^[d] for those in mourning in Zion,
to give them a head wrap instead of ashes,
    the oil of joy instead of mourning,
    a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit.
And they will be called^[e] oaks of righteousness,
    the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.
⁴ And they shall build the ancient ruins,
    they shall erect the former deserted places.
And they shall restore the devastated cities,^[f]
    the deserted places of many generations.^[g]
