Isaiah 61:1-3

The Year of the  Lord’s Favor

a The Spirit of the Lord  God is upon me,
because the  Lord has b anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
Or afflicted

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and d the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Or  the opening [of the eyes] to those who are blind; Septuagint  and recovery of sight to the blind

f to proclaim the year of the  Lord’s favor,
g and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
to grant to those who mourn in Zion
h to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
i the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
j that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the  Lord k that he may be glorified.
Or  that he may display his beauty
