Isaiah 61:6-9
New King James Version
6 (A)But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
(B)You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
7 (C)Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
8 “For (D)I, the Lord, love justice;
(E)I hate robbery [a]for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
(F)And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
(G)That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”
