the 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, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. God sent me to announce the year of his grace—and the day of vengeance of our God—and to comfort all who mourn, to care for the needs of all who mourn in zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for a heavy spirit, rename them "oaks of righteousness" planted by God to display his glory. they'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. isaiah 61
