Isaiah 61:7-11
Common English Bible
7 Instead of shame, their[a] portion will be double;
instead of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.
They will possess a double portion in their land;
everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and dishonesty.[b]
I will faithfully give them their wage,
and make with them an enduring covenant.
9 Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their descendants among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize
that they are a people blessed by the Lord.
10 I surely rejoice in the Lord;
my heart is joyful because of my God,
because he has clothed me with clothes of victory,
wrapped me in a robe of righteousness
like a bridegroom in a priestly crown,
and like a bride adorned in jewelry.
11 As the earth puts out its growth,
and as a garden grows its seeds,
so the Lord God will grow righteousness and praise before all the nations.

10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(I) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(J)

and as a bride(L) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(M) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(N)
and praise spring up before all nations.
