Readings for Lent and Easter

61 The Ruach of Adonai Elohim is on me,^[a]
because Adonai has anointed me
    to proclaim Good News to the poor.^[b]
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound,
² to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor
    and the day of our God’s vengeance,
to comfort all who mourn
³ to console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes,
    the oil of joy for mourning,^[c]
    the garment of praise
        for the spirit of heaviness,
    that they might be called oaks of righteousness,
    the planting of Adonai,
    that He may be glorified.
