The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening {\i of the prison} to them that are bound;

the {\b blind receive their sight,} and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the {\b poor have good tidings preached to them.}

And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.
and said unto him, {\cf6 Go, wash in the pool of Siloam} (which is by interpretation, Sent){\cf6 .} He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, {\i and} I shall behold his righteousness.
