your gates of carbuncles, ^{▼▼Or crystal}
and all your wall of precious stones.

you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and ^apthe opening of the prison to those who are bound; ^{▼▼Or the opening [of the eyes] to those who are blind; Septuagint and recovery of sight to the blind}
2 ^arto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
^asand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
^atto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

^avthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, ^awthat he may be glorified. ^{▼▼Or that he may display his beauty}
