Isaiah 61 – Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Messiah’s Jubilee

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to heal[fn] the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives

and freedom to the prisoners;

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,

and the day of our God’s vengeance;

to comfort all who mourn,

3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion;

to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,

festive oil instead of mourning,

and splendid clothes instead of despair.[fn]

And they will be called righteous trees,

planted by the LORD

to glorify him.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins;

they will restore the former devastations;

they will renew the ruined cities,

the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,

and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.

6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests;

they will speak of you as ministers of our God;

you will eat the wealth of the nations,

and you will boast in their riches.

7 In place of your shame, you will have a double portion;

in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.

So they will possess double in their land,

and eternal joy will be theirs.

8 For I the LORD love justice;

I hate robbery and injustice;[fn]

I will faithfully reward my people

and make a permanent covenant with them.

9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,

and their posterity among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize

that they are a people the LORD has blessed.

10 I rejoice greatly in the LORD,

I exult in my God;

for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation

and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness,

as a groom wears a turban

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth produces its growth,

and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to spring up before all the nations.
