The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me, because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and complete opening to the bound ones;

to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so that one calls them treesof righteousness, the planting of Jehovah,in order to beautify Himself.
