- For thus saith the high and lofty One
that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy;
I dwell in the high and holy place,
with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. - Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
to loose the bands of wickedness,
to undo the heavy burdens,
and to let the oppressed go free,
and that ye break every yoke? - If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,
from doing thy pleasure on my holy day;
and call the sabbath a delight,
the holy of the Lord, honourable;
and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways,
nor finding thine own pleasure,
nor speaking thine own words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord;
and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth,
and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father:
for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. - Arise, shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. - The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
because the Lord hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek;
he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. - I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. - But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

I am found of them that sought me not:

unto a nation that was not called by my name. - Wash you, make you clean;
put away the evil of your doings
from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil. - Learn to do well; seek judgment,
relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless,
plead for the widow. - Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
- Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

unto us a son is given:

and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord, call upon his name,
declare his doings among the people,
make mention that his name is exalted. - Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth. - O Lord, thou art my God;

thy counsels of old
are faithfulness and truth. - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee. - Yea, in the way of thy judgments,
O Lord, have we waited for thee;
the desire of our soul is to thy name,
and to the remembrance of thee. - With my soul have I desired thee in the night;

for when thy judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. - This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts,
which is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in working. - And therefore will the Lord wait,
that he may be gracious unto you,
and therefore will he be exalted,
that he may have mercy upon you:

blessed are all they that wait for him. - Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high,

and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. - For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king;
