Isaiah 61:5
New International Version
5 Strangers(A) will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
Isaiah 60:10-14
New International Version
10 “Foreigners(A) will rebuild your walls,
and their kings(B) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
in favor(C) I will show you compassion.(D)
11 Your gates(E) will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations(F)—
their kings(G) led in triumphal procession.
12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve(H) you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.(I)
13 “The glory of Lebanon(J) will come to you,
the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,(K)
to adorn my sanctuary;(L)
and I will glorify the place for my feet.(M)
14 The children of your oppressors(N) will come bowing before you;
all who despise you will bow down(O) at your feet
and will call you the City(P) of the Lord,
Zion(Q) of the Holy One(R) of Israel.
Isaiah 14:1-2
New International Version
14 The Lord will have compassion(A) on Jacob;
once again he will choose(B) Israel
and will settle them in their own land.(C)
Foreigners(D) will join them
and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 Nations will take them
and bring(E) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(F)
and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(G) of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.(H)
Ephesians 2:12-20
New International Version
12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(A) to the covenants of the promise,(B) without hope(C) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(D) were far away have been brought near(E) by the blood of Christ.(F)
14 For he himself is our peace,(G) who has made the two groups one(H) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(I) the law with its commands and regulations.(J) His purpose was to create in himself one(K) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(L) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(M) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(N) 18 For through him we both have access(O) to the Father(P) by one Spirit.(Q)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(R) but fellow citizens(S) with God’s people and also members of his household,(T) 20 built(U) on the foundation(V) of the apostles and prophets,(W) with Christ Jesus himself(X) as the chief cornerstone.(Y)
