1. The Ruach Adonai Elohim is on me, because Adonai has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor. 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, 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.
4. They will rebuild the ancient ruins. They will restore former desolations. They will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
