The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

The new wine mourns, the vine droops, all the merry-hearted sigh.

Listen to me, stubborn-hearted who are far from righteousness;

Therefore all hands shall be faint, and every man's heart shall melt;

Why should you be stricken any more? You will revolt more and more; the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams, and behold, he eats, but he wakes and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint and his soul is longing. So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations who fight against mount Zion.

Even the young shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;

but those who wait on Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

And it shall burn up the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick one faints.

Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the street like a wild antelope in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.

Behold, My servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will howl because of a breaking of spirit.
