"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me to preach
good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives and
release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and
the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn and provide for
those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown
of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor."
isaiah 61:1-3
