Version
Isaiah 61:1-3

The Lord Will Anoint His Servant with His Spirit

61 The Ruach of Adonay Yahweh is with me
    because Yahweh has anointed me
        to deliver good news to humble people.
    He has sent me
        to heal those who are brokenhearted,
        to announce that captives will be set free
            and prisoners will be released.
He has sent me
    to announce the year of Yahweh’s good will
        and the day of our Elohim’s vengeance,
        to comfort all those who grieve.
He has sent me
    to provide for all those who grieve in Zion,
        to give them crowns instead of ashes,
            the oil of joy instead of tears of grief,
                and clothes of praise instead of a spirit of weakness.

They will be called Oaks of Righteousness,
    the Plantings of Yahweh,
        so that he might display his glory.
