“To proclaim the year of the acceptable year of the Lord

[the favor of Adonai}

and the day of the vengeance of our God;”

Is 61: 2

To comfort all who mourn,

To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the

spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the Lord,

That He may be glorified.”

And they shall rebuild the old ruins,

They shall raise up the former desolations,

And they shall repair the ruined cities,

The desolations of many generations,

Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

And the sons of the foreigner

Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,

They shall call you the servants of our God.

You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,

And in their glory you shall boast.

Instead of shame you shall have double honor,

And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.

Therefore in their land they shall possess double;

Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

For I, the Lord, love justice;

I hate robbery for burnt offering;

I will direct their work in truth,

And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,

And their offspring among the people.

All who see them shall acknowledge them,

That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

My soul shall be joyful in my God;

For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom adorns herself with her jewels,

For as the earth brings forth its bud,

As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,

So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations.”

 

 

Day of Vengeance Is 59:15

Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.

He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor;

Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;

And His own righteousness it sustained Him,

For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,

And a helmet of salvation on His head;

He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,

And was clad with zeal as a cloak.

According to their deeds,

accordingly He will repay,

Fury to His adversaries,

Recompense to His enemies;

The coast lands He will fully repay.

So shall they fear

The name of the Lord from the west,

And His glory from the rising of the sun

When the enemy comes in like a flood,

The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

The Redeemer will come to Zion,

And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”

says the Lord.

 

Isaiah 63: 1-4

“Who is this who comes from Edom.

With dyed garments from Bozrah,

This One who is glorious in His apparel.

Traveling in the greatness of His strength?-

 

“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

 

Why is your apparel red

And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

 

“I have trodden the winepress alone,

And from the peoples no one was with Me.

For I have trodden them in My anger,

And trampled them in My fury;

Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,

And I have stained all My robes.

For the day of vengeance is in My heart,

And the year of My redeemed has come.”

 

Those to whom this belongs Is 58:6-14

 

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:

To loose the bonds of wickedness,

To undo the heavy burdens,

To let the oppressed go free,

And that you break every yoke/

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,

And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;

When you see the naked,

that you cover him,

And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Then your light shall break forth like the morning,

Your healing shall spring forth speedily,

And your righteousness shall go before you;

The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

Then you shall call,

and the Lord will answer;

You shall cry, and He will say,

'Here I am.”

“If you take away the yoke from your midst,

The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness,

If you extend your soul to the hungry

And satisfy the afflicted soul,

Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,

And your darkness shall be as the noonday,

The Lord will guide you continually,

And satisfy your soul in drought,

And strengthen your bones;

You shall be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water,

whose waters do no fail.

Those from among you

Shall build the old wast places;

You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,

The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

“IF you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,

From doing your pleasure

on My holy day,

And call the Shabbat a delight,

The holy day of the Lord honorable,

And shall honor Him,

not doing your own ways,

Nor finding your own pleasure,

Nor speaking your own words,

Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;

And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,

And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
