1. The Spirit of the Almighty Lord is with mebecause the Lord has anointed meto deliver good news to humble people.He has sent meto heal those who are brokenhearted,to announce that captives will be set freeand prisoners will be released.
2. ⌊He has sent me⌋to announce the year of the Lord’s good willand the day of our God’s vengeance,to comfort all those who grieve.
3. ⌊He has sent me⌋to provide for all those who grieve in Zion,to give them crowns instead of ashes,the oil of joy instead of ⌊tears of⌋ grief,and clothes of praise instead of a spirit of weakness.They will be called Oaks of Righteousness,the Plantings of the Lord,so that he might display his glory.
