Isaiah 61:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 Then they will (A)rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 (B)Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And [a]foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
6 But you will be called the (C)priests of the Lord;
You will be spoken of as (D)ministers of our God.
You will eat the (E)wealth of nations,
And you will boast in their [b]riches.
7 Instead of your (F)shame you will have a (G)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
(H)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
