Psalm 148:6 Or it shall not be transgressed

Isaiah 61:10-62:3

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my soul shall exult in my God,
^(B)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself ^(C)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
    ^(D)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
    and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause ^(E)righteousness and praise
    to sprout up before all the nations.

Zion's Coming Salvation

62 ^(F)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
^(G)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
²^(H)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
^(I)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
³You shall be ^(J)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

Galatians 4:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴But ^(A)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, ^(B)born ^(C)of woman, born ^(D)under the law, ⁵^(E)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(F)adoption as sons. ⁶And because you are sons, God has sent ^(G)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(H)an heir through God.
