Isaiah 61:3-10
New King James Version
3 To [a]console those who mourn in Zion,
(A)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
(B)The planting of the Lord, (C)that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall (D)rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 (E)Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 (F)But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
(G)You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
7 (H)Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
8 “For (I)I, the Lord, love justice;
(J)I hate robbery [b]for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
(K)And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
(L)That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”
10 (M)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For (N)He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
(O)As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
