\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,\nBecause the Lord has anointed Me\nTo preach good tidings to the poor;\nHe has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,\nTo proclaim liberty to the captives,\nAnd the opening of the prison to those who are bound;\n2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,\nAnd the day of vengeance of our God;\nTo comfort all who mourn,\n3 To console those who mourn in Zion,\nTo give them beauty for ashes,\nThe oil of joy for mourning,\nThe garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;\nThat they may be called trees of righteousness,\nThe planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.\u201d\n4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,\nThey shall raise up the former desolations,\nAnd they shall repair the ruined cities,\nThe desolations of many generations. Isaiah 61
