Isaiah 61:4-11

4Then they will 1rebuildH1129 the ancientH5769 ruinsH2723, They will raiseH6965 upH6965 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 ofH7121 as 5ministersH8334 of our GodH430. You will eatH398 the 6wealthH2428 of nationsH1471, And you will boastH559 in their 7richesH3519.7InsteadH8478 ofH8478 your 8shameH1322 you will have a 9doubleH4932 portion, And instead of humiliationH3639 they will shoutH7442 forH7442 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 rewardH6468, 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.

10I will 15rejoiceH7797 greatlyH7797 in the LordH3068, My soulH5315 will beH1523 joyfulH1523 in 16my GodH430; For He has 17clothedH3847 me with garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, He has wrappedH5844 me with a robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, As a groomH2860 putsH3547 onH3547 a turbanH6287, And 18as a brideH3618 adornsH5710 herself with her jewelsH3627.11For as the 19earthH776 producesH3318 its sproutsH6780, And as a gardenH1593 causes the thingsH2221 sownH2221 in it to springH6779 upH6779, SoH3651 the LordH136 20GodH3068 will 21cause 22righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 To springH6779 upH6779 beforeH5048 allH3605 the nationsH1471.
