Isaiah 61 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Exaltation of the Afflicted

1 The Spirit ^H7307 of Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 is upon me

Because ^H3282 Yahweh ^H3068 has anointed ^H4886 me

To bring ^H1319 good ^H1319 news ^H1319 to the [fn]afflicted ^H6035;

He has sent ^H7971 me to bind ^H2280 up ^H2280 the brokenhearted ^H7665 H3820,

To proclaim ^H7121 release ^H1865 to captives ^H7617

And [fn]freedom ^H6495 to prisoners ^H631,

2 To proclaim ^H7121 the favorable ^H7522 year ^H8141 of Yahweh ^H3068

And the day ^H3117 of vengeance ^H5359 of our God ^H430,

To comfort ^H5162 all ^H3605 who mourn ^H57,

3 To grant ^H7760 those who mourn ^H57 in Zion ^H6726,

Giving ^H5414 them a headdress ^H6287 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 ashes ^H665,

The oil ^H8081 of rejoicing ^H8342 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 mourning ^H60,

The mantle ^H4594 of praise ^H8416 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 a spirit ^H7307 of fainting ^H3544.

So they will be called ^H7121 [fn]oaks ^H352 of righteousness ^H6664,

The planting ^H4302 of Yahweh ^H3068, that He may show ^H6286 forth His beautiful ^H6286 glory ^H6286.

4 Then they will rebuild ^H1129 the ancient ^H5769 waste ^H2723 places ^H2723;

They will raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 the former ^H7223 desolations ^H8074;

And they will make new ^H2318 the ruined ^H2721 cities ^H5892,

The desolations ^H8074 from generation ^H1755 to ^H1755 generation ^H1755.

5 Strangers ^H2114 will stand ^H5975 and pasture ^H7462 your flocks ^H6629,

And [fn]foreigners ^H1121 H5236 will be your farmers ^H406 and your vinedressers ^H3755.

6 But you will be called ^H7121 the priests ^H3548 of Yahweh ^H3068;

You will be spoken ^H7121 of as ministers ^H8334 of our God ^H430.

You will eat ^H398 the wealth ^H2428 of nations ^H1471,

And in their glories ^H3519 you will boast ^H559.

7 Instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 your shame ^H1322 you will have a double ^H4932 portion,

And instead of dishonor ^H3639 they will shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442 over their portion ^H2506.

Therefore ^H3651 they will possess ^H3423 a double ^H4932 portion in their land ^H776;

Everlasting ^H5769 gladness ^H8057 will be theirs ^H1992.

8 For I, Yahweh ^H3068, love ^H157 justice ^H4941,

I hate ^H8130 robbery ^H1498 [fn]in the burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930;

And in truth ^H571 I will give ^H5414 them their recompense ^H6468

And cut ^H3772 an everlasting ^H5769 covenant ^H1285 with them.

9 Then their seed ^H2233 will be known ^H3045 among the nations ^H1471,

And their offspring ^H6631 in the midst ^H8432 of the peoples ^H5971.

All ^H3605 who see ^H7200 them will recognize ^H5234 them

Because ^H3588 they are the seed ^H2233 whom Yahweh ^H3068 has blessed ^H1288.

10 I will rejoice ^H7797 greatly ^H7797 in Yahweh ^H3068;

My soul ^H5315 will rejoice ^H1523 in my God ^H430,

For He has clothed ^H3847 me with garments ^H899 of salvation ^H3468,

He has wrapped ^H5844 me with a robe ^H4598 of righteousness ^H6666,

As a bridegroom ^H2860 decks ^H3547 himself with a headdress ^H6287,

And as a bride ^H3618 adorns ^H5710 herself with her jewels ^H3627.

11 For as the earth ^H776 brings ^H3318 forth ^H3318 its branches ^H6780,

And as a garden ^H1593 causes the things ^H2221 sown ^H2221 in it to branch ^H6779 out ^H6779,

So ^H3651 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 will cause righteousness ^H6666 and praise ^H8416

To branch ^H6779 out ^H6779 before ^H5048 all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471.
