More Missing Verses During Advent

This Sunday, the prophet Isaiah gets muzzled by the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) editors. Most churches will hear Isaiah 61:1-4,8-11 omitting verses 5-7. I present the whole Psalm with the expurgated verses highlighted in red. Once again, I have a theory as to why they got the ax.

1 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

   because the Lord has anointed me;

he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,

   to bind up the broken-hearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

   and release to the prisoners;

2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour,

   and the day of vengeance of our God;

   to comfort all who mourn;

3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion—

   to give them a garland instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

   the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

   the planting of the Lord, to display his glory.

4 They shall build up the ancient ruins,

   they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities,

   the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

   foreigners shall till your land and dress your vines;

6 but you shall be called priests of the Lord,

   you shall be named ministers of our God;

you shall enjoy the wealth of the nations,

   and in their riches you shall glory.

7 Because your shame was double,

   and dishonour was proclaimed as your lot,

therefore you shall possess a double portion;

   everlasting joy shall be yours.

8 For I the Lord love justice,

   I hate robbery and wrongdoing (Or robbery with a burnt offering)

I will faithfully give them their recompense,

   and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the nations,

   and their offspring among the peoples;

all who see them shall acknowledge

   that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

   my whole being shall exult 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 decks himself with a garland,

   and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots,

   and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,

so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise

   to spring up before all the nations.

The "troublesome" verses hint at a future subjugation of foreigners by the Israelites and monetary compensation for what had been stolen from the people of Israel. 

Now, these verses are only troublesome to revisionists.

So, guess what kind of priest is in charge of what gets heard by Sunday pewsitters in a church that follows the RCL?
