Isaiah 61:3-11

3To 1grantH7760 those who mournH57 in ZionH6726, GivingH5414 them a garlandH6287 insteadH8478 of ashesH665, The 2oilH8081 of gladnessH8342 insteadH8478 of mourningH60, The mantleH4594 of praiseH8416 insteadH8478 of a spiritH7307 of faintingH3544. So they will be calledH7121 34oaksH352 of righteousnessH6664, The plantingH4302 of the LordH3068, that He may be glorifiedH6286.

4Then they will 5rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723, They will raiseH6965 up the formerH7223 devastationsH8074; And they will repairH2318 the ruinedH2721 citiesH5892, The desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.56StrangersH2114 will standH5975 and pastureH7462 your flocksH6629, And 7foreignersH1121H5236 will be your farmersH406 and your vinedressersH3755.6But you will be calledH7121 the 8priestsH3548 of the LordH3068; You will be spokenH7121 of as 9ministersH8334 of our GodH430. You will eatH398 the 10wealthH2428 of nationsH1471, And in their 11richesH3519 you will boastH3235.7InsteadH8478 of your 12shameH1322 you will have a 13doubleH4932 portion, And instead of humiliationH3639 they will shoutH7442 for joyH7442 over their portionH2506. ThereforeH3651 they will possessH3423 a doubleH4932 portion in their landH776, 14EverlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be theirsH1992.8For I, the LordH3068, 15loveH157 justiceH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 16in the burntH5930 offeringH5930; And I will faithfullyH571 giveH5414 them their recompenseH6468 And makeH3772 an 17everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.9Then their offspringH2233 will be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471, And their descendantsH6631 in the midstH8432 of the peoplesH5971. AllH3605 who seeH7200 them will recognizeH5234 them BecauseH3588 they are the 18offspringH2233 whom the LordH3068 has blessedH1288.

10I will 19rejoiceH7797 greatlyH7797 in the LordH3068, My soulH5315 will exultH1523 in 20my GodH430; For He has 21clothedH3847 me with garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, He has wrappedH5844 me with a robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, As a bridegroomH2860 decksH3547 himself with a garlandH6287, And 22as a brideH3618 adornsH5710 herself with her jewelsH3627.11For as the 23earthH776 bringsH3318 forthH3318 its sproutsH6780, And as a gardenH1593 causes the thingsH2221 sownH2221 in it to springH6779 up, SoH3651 the LordH136 24GodH3068 will 25cause 26righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 To springH6779 up beforeH5048 allH3605 the nationsH1471.
