Isaiah 61:5-9

English Standard Version

^5 (A)Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
    foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
^6 (B)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
    they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
^(C)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their glory you shall boast.
^7 (D)Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
    instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
    they shall have everlasting joy.

^8 (E)For I the Lord love justice;
    I hate robbery and wrong;^[a]
(F)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
    ^(G)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
⁹ Their offspring shall be known among the nations,
    and their descendants in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
    that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.
