1 El Espíritu del Señor Todopoderoso está sobre mí, porque me eligió para traer buenas noticias a los pobres, para consolar a los afligidos y para anunciarles a los prisioneros que pronto van a quedar en libertad. 2 El Señor me ha enviado a decir a los que lloran que ha llegado para ellos la hora de la compasión de Dios, y el día de su ira contra los enemigos de ellos. 3 A todos los que guardan luto en Israel les dará: belleza en vez de cenizas, júbilo en vez de llanto, y alabanza en vez de abatimiento. Porque para gloria de Dios, él mismo los ha plantado como vigorosos y esbeltos robles. 4 Entonces ellos reedificarán las antiguas ruinas, repararán las ciudades que hace largo tiempo fueron destruidas; las levantarán, aunque por generaciones han estado derruidas. 5 Los extranjeros serán los siervos de ustedes, les darán de comer a sus rebaños, ararán sus tierras y cuidarán sus viñedos. 6 Ustedes serán llamados sacerdotes del Señor, ministros de Dios. Se nutrirán de los tesoros de las naciones y en sus riquezas se gloriarán todos ustedes. 7 En lugar de vergüenza y deshonra, gozarán doble porción de prosperidad y de alegría perpetua. 8 Porque yo, el Señor, amo la justicia, detesto el robo y el mal. Fielmente recompensaré a mi pueblo por sus sufrimientos y con ellos estableceré pacto perpetuo. 9 Sus descendientes tendrán renombre y serán famosos entre las naciones. Todos reconocerán que son un pueblo bendecido por Dios. 10 Dice el profeta: ¡Dejen que les cuente la felicidad que Dios me ha dado! Me ha cubierto con vestiduras de salvación y me ha puesto un manto de justicia. Soy como novio vestido para celebrar la boda o como una novia enjoyada para el desposorio. 11 El Señor mostrará a las naciones del mundo su justicia; todos lo alabarán. Su justicia será como un árbol con renuevos, o como huerto al comenzar la primavera, lleno de plantas que brotan por doquier.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… suffered in the twelfth month, so that He continued to preach for one year after His baptism; and they endeavour to establish this point out of the prophet (for it is written, "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of retribution" ), being truly blind, inasmuch as they affirm they have found out the mysteries of …
For a single person is represented as saying, "He hath decked me as a bridegroom with ornaments, and adorned me as a bride with jewels" and yet it is, of course, a matter for interpretation which of these two refers to the head and which to the body, that is, which to Christ and which to the Church.

… sent Me to preach the Gospel to the lowly, to heal the broken up in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and sight to the blind; to announce the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance; to comfort all that mourn."
