the seventh

The Spirit of the Lord G-D is upon me, 

because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; 

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, 

and the day of vengeance of our G-d; 

to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion -

to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, 

the oil of gladness instead of mourning, 

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; 

that they may be called oaks of righteousness, 

the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.

~Isaiah 61:1-3
