The Year of the Lord’s Favor
1 uThe Spirit of the Lord God is vupon me,
because the Lord has wanointed me
to bring xgood news to the poor;1
he has sent me to ybind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to make a zproclamation of liberty to them,
15 You recently repented and did what was right in my eyes by proclaiming liberty, each to his neighbor, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is ecalled by my name,
17 “Therefore, thus says the Lord: You have not obeyed me by proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and to his neighbor; behold, I proclaim to you liberty to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, declares the Lord. I will make you a ghorror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 c“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim dgood news to the poor.
He has esent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
fto set at liberty those who are oppressed,
