Isaiah 61:6-11
6But you will be called the 1priests of the Lord; You will be spoken of as 2ministers of our God. You will eat the 3wealth of nations, And in their 4riches you will boast.7Instead of your 5shame you will have a 6double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, 7Everlasting joy will be theirs.8For I, the Lord, 8love justice, I hate robbery 9in the burnt offering; And I will faithfully give them their recompense And make an 10everlasting covenant with them.9Then their offspring will be known among the nations, And their descendants in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them Because they are the 11offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10I will 12rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in 13my God; For He has 14clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And 15as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.11For as the 16earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord 17God will 18cause 19righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations.
