Isaiah 61:3-6
English Standard Version
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
(A)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
(B)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
(C)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, (D)that he may be glorified.[a]
4 (E)They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
5 (F)Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
6 (G)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(H)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their glory you shall boast.
