to announce the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Here is my servant, whom I support. Here is my chosen one, with whom I am pleased. I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

I planned the day of vengeance. The year for my reclaiming ⌞you⌟ has come.

Since we are God’s coworkers, we urge you not to let God’s kindness be wasted on you.
