Isaiah 61:4-9

4Then they will 1rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723, They will raiseH6965 up the formerH7223 devastationsH8074; And they will repairH2318 the ruinedH2721 citiesH5892, The desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.52StrangersH2114 will standH5975 and pastureH7462 your flocksH6629, And 3foreignersH1121H5236 will be your farmersH406 and your vinedressersH3755.6But you will be calledH7121 the 4priestsH3548 of the LordH3068; You will be spokenH7121 of as 5ministersH8334 of our GodH430. You will eatH398 the 6wealthH2428 of nationsH1471, And in their 7richesH3519 you will boastH3235.7InsteadH8478 of your 8shameH1322 you will have a 9doubleH4932 portion, And instead of humiliationH3639 they will shoutH7442 for joyH7442 over their portionH2506. ThereforeH3651 they will possessH3423 a doubleH4932 portion in their landH776, 10EverlastingH5769 joyH8057 will be theirsH1992.8For I, the LordH3068, 11loveH157 justiceH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 12in the burntH5930 offeringH5930; And I will faithfullyH571 giveH5414 them their recompenseH6468 And makeH3772 an 13everlastingH5769 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 14offspringH2233 whom the LordH3068 has blessedH1288.
