Isaiah 60:12-15

New King James Version

¹²^(A)For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

¹³“The^(B) glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make ^(C)the place of My feet glorious.
¹⁴Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come ^(D)bowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall ^(E)fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
^(F)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.

Isaiah 61:1-3

New King James Version

The Good News of Salvation

61 “The ^(A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord ^(B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me ^(C)to ^[a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim ^(D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
²^(E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And ^(F)the day of vengeance of our God;
^(G)To comfort all who mourn,
³To ^[b]console those who mourn in Zion,
^(H)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
^(I)The planting of the Lord, ^(J)that He may be glorified.”
