Isaiah 61:4-9

4They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the former devastations; they will renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.

5Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.

6But you will be called the Lord’s priests; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their riches.

7In place of your shame, you will have a double portion; in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share. So they will possess double in their land, and eternal joy will be theirs.

8For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and injustice; I will faithfully reward my people and make a permanent covenant with them.

9Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their posterity among the peoples. All who see them will recognize that they are a people the Lord has blessed.
