The Message Help
61The Spirit of GOD, the Master, is on me because GOD anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, Announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners.H7307H136H3069H3068H4886H1319H6035H7971H2280H7665H3820H7121H1865H7617H6495H631 2GOD sent me to announce the year of his grace— a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies— and to comfort all who mourn,H7121H7522H8141H3068H3117H5359H430H5162H57 3To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit. Rename them "Oaks of Righteousness" planted by GOD to display his glory.H7760H57H6726H5414H6287H665H8081H8342H60H4594H8416H7307H3544H7121H352H6664H4302H3068H6286 4They'll rebuild the old ruins, raise a new city out of the wreckage. They'll start over on the ruined cities, take the rubble left behind and make it new.H1129H5769H2723H6965H7223H8074H2318H2721H5892H8074H1755H1755 5You'll hire outsiders to herd your flocks and foreigners to work your fields,H2114H5975H7462H6629H1121H5236H406H3755 6But you'll have the title "Priests of GOD," honored as ministers of our God. You'll feast on the bounty of nations, you'll bask in their glory.H7121H3548H3068H559H8334H430H398H2428H1471H3519H3235 7Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, Your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever.H1322H4932H3639H7442H2506H776H3423H4932H5769H8057 8"Because I, GOD, love fair dealing and hate thievery and crime, I'll pay your wages on time and in full, and establish my eternal covenant with you.H3068H157H4941H8130H1498H5930H5414H6468H571H3772H5769H1285 9Your descendants will become well-known all over. Your children in foreign countries Will be recognized at once as the people I have blessed."H2233H3045H1471H6631H8432H5971H7200H5234H2233H3068H1288 10I will sing for joy in GOD, explode in praise from deep in my soul! He dressed me up in a suit of salvation, he outfitted me in a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom who puts on a tuxedo and a bride a jeweled tiara.H7797H7797H3068H5315H1523H430H3847H899H3468H3271H4598H6666H2860H3547H6287H3618H5710H3627 11For as the earth bursts with spring wildflowers, and as a garden cascades with blossoms, So the Master, GOD, brings righteousness into full bloom and puts praise on display before the nations.H776H3318H6780H1593H2221H6779H136H3069H6666H8416H6779H1471
