Isaiah 61:8-11
New International Version
8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;(A)
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant(B) with them.
9 Their descendants(C) will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(D)
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(E) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(F)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(G) like a priest,
and as a bride(H) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(I) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(J)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:8-11
King James Version
8 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 62:2-4
New International Version
2 The nations(A) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(B)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(C) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(D)
or name your land Desolate.(E)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](F)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(G) in you,
and your land will be married.(H)
