Isaiah 61
61
1The Spirit of the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) [is] upon me; because the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the day of vengeance of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; to comfort all that mourn;
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Tziyon [parched place], to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that he might be glorified.
4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien [shall be] your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6But you2f shall be named the Priests of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): [men] shall call you the Ministers of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: you2f shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you2f boast yourselves.
7For your shame [you2f shall have] double; and [for] confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8For I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they [are] the seed [which] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous).
10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), my soul shall be joyful in my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride r [herself] with her jewels.
11For as the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 61
61
Messiah’s Jubilee
1The Spirit of the Lord God is on me,#Is 11:2; 42:1; 48:16; Lk 4:18–19
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.#Lk 7:22
He has sent me to heal#61:1 Lit bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and freedom to the prisoners;#Is 42:7; 49:9
2to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,#Is 49:8
and the day of our God’s vengeance;#Is 2:12; 13:6; 34:2,8
to comfort#Is 40:1 all who mourn,
3to provide for those who mourn in Zion;
to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
festive oil instead of mourning,#Ps 45:7; Heb 1:9
and splendid clothes instead of despair.#61:3 Lit a dim spirit
And they will be called righteous trees,
planted by the Lord
to glorify him.#Is 60:21; Jr 17:7–8
4They will rebuild the ancient ruins;#Is 49:8; 58:12; Ezk 36:33; Am 9:14
they will restore the former devastations;
they will renew the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
5Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,
and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.#Is 14:2; 60:10
6But you will be called the Lord’s priests;#Ex 19:6; Is 66:21; 1Pt 2:5,9
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.
7In place of your shame, you will have a double portion;#Is 54:4
in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.
So they will possess double in their land,#Is 40:2; Zch 9:12
and eternal joy will be theirs.
8For I the Lord love justice;#Ps 11:7; Is 59:15
I hate robbery and injustice;#61:8 Some Hb mss, DSS, LXX, Syr, Tg, Vg; other Hb mss read robbery with a burnt offering
I will faithfully reward my people
and make a permanent covenant#Is 24:5; 55:3 with them.
9Their 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.
10I 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,#Is 49:18; 52:1; 59:17
as a groom wears a turban
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.#Rv 21:2
11For 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.#Is 45:23–24; 60:18,21
