Isaiah 61:1-3

The Year of the Lord’s Favor

1 ^dThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has ^eanointed 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 ^gthe 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 ⁱto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
^jand the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
^kto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
^lthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
^mthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, ⁿthat he may be glorified. ^{▼▼Or that he may display his beauty}

Jeremiah 1:18

18 And I, behold, I make you this day ^pa fortified city, ^qan iron pillar, and ^rbronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.

Jeremiah 15:19-20

19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
^s“If you return, I will restore you,
and you shall ^tstand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
but you shall not turn to them.
20 ^uAnd I will make you to this people
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
^vbut they shall not prevail over you,
^wfor I am with you
to save you and deliver you,

declares the Lord.
