The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners. To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in Zion, giving a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So that they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devestations, And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will shout for joy.

Isaiah 61:1-4, 7a
