repairing cities destroyed long ago.
They will revive them,
though they have been deserted for many generations.

and plow your fields
and tend your vineyards.

ministers of our God.

and boast in their riches.

you will enjoy a double share of honor.
You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.

the Lord has blessed.”

For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding
or a bride with her jewels.

Everyone will praise him!
His righteousness will be like a garden in early spring,
with plants springing up everywhere.
