Isaiah 61:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴They shall build up the ancient ruins,
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.

⁵Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks,
    foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
⁶but you shall be called the priests of the Lord,
    men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their riches you shall glory.
