Isaiah 61:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)For I the Lord love justice;
I hate robbery and wrong;[a]
(B)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
(C)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.
10 (D)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
(E)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself (F)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
(G)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For 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 (H)righteousness and praise
to sprout up before all the nations.
