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