Isaiah 61:2
Berean Standard Bible
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor * and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
Context
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD 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 liberty to the captives
and freedom to the prisoners,* 2to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor *
and the day of our God’s vengeance,
to comfort all who mourn, 3to console the mourners in Zion—
to give them a crown of beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.
So they will be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. 4They will rebuild the ancient ruins;
they will restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities,
the desolations of many generations.
