Isaiah 61:6-11

6But ye shall be named the priestsH3548 of Jehovah; men shall callH7121 you the ministers of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398 the wealthH2428 of the nationsH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boast yourselves. 7Instead of your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portionH2506: thereforeH3651 in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 doubleH4932; everlasting joyH8057 shall beH1961 unto them. 8For I, Jehovah, loveH157 justiceH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 with iniquity; and I will giveH5414 them their recompenseH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH5414 an everlasting covenantH1285 with them. 9And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471, and their offspringH2233 among the peoplesH5971; all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seedH2233 which Jehovah hath blessedH1288.

10I will greatly rejoiceH1523 in Jehovah, my soulH5315 shall be joyful in my GodH430; for he hath clothedH3847 me with the garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, he hath covered me with the robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a brideH3618 adorneth herself with her jewels. 11For as the earthH776 bringeth forthH3318 its bud, and as the gardenH1593 causeth the things that are sown in it to springH6779 forthH3318; so the LordH136 Jehovah will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to springH6779 forthH3318 before all the nationsH1471.
