The Year of the Lord’s Favor
1 oThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,because the Lord has panointed me
to bring good news to the poor; ▼
▼Or afflicted
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and rthe opening of the prison to those who are bound; ▼
2 tto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
uand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
vto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
wthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
xthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, ythat he may be glorified. ▼
▼Or that he may display his beauty
Zephaniah 2:3
3 aaSeek the Lord, aball you humble of the land,who do his just commands; ▼
▼Or who carry out his judgment
adseek righteousness; seek humility;
aeperhaps afyou may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
