The Spirit of the Lord GOD {is} upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to {them that are} bound;

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, {and} them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that {are} in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures {shall be} in all high places.

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: {whose...: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation}

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, {as thou art} in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
