Isaiah 61:4-11
4Then they will 1rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.52Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks, And 3foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.6But you will be called the 4priests of the Lord; You will be spoken of as 5ministers of our God. You will eat the 6wealth of nations, And you will boast in their 7riches.7Instead of your 8shame you will have a 9double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, 10Everlasting joy will be theirs.8For I, the Lord, 11love justice, I hate robbery 12in the burnt offering; And I will faithfully give them their reward, And make an 13everlasting 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 14offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10I will 15rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will be joyful in 16my God; For He has 17clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a groom puts on a turban, And 18as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.11For as the 19earth produces its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord 20God will 21cause 22righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations.
