Isaiah 61:8-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ For I, the Lord, love justice,
    I hate robbery and wrongdoing;^[a]
I will faithfully give them their recompense,
    and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.^(A)
9 Their descendants shall be known among the nations
    and their offspring among the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge
    that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed.^(B)
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my whole being shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland
    and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.^(C)
11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots
    and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
    to spring up before all the nations.^(D)
