Isaiah 61:1-3 KJV
Isaiah · chapter 61 · verses 1–3
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath 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, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, 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, that he might be glorified.Isaiah 61:1-3 · King James Version

2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
