(A)Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
    foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
(B)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
    they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(C)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their glory you shall boast.
(D)Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
    instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
    they shall have everlasting joy.

(E)For I the Lord love justice;
    I hate robbery and wrong;[a]
(F)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
    (G)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their offspring shall be known among the nations,
    and their descendants in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
    that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.

  1. Isaiah 61:8 Or robbery with a burnt offering

Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks,
    foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
but you shall be called the priests of the Lord,
    men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and in their riches you shall glory.
Instead of your shame you shall have a double portion,
    instead of dishonor you[a] shall rejoice in your[b] lot;
therefore in your[c] land you[d] shall possess a double portion;
    yours[e] shall be everlasting joy.

For I the Lord love justice,
    I hate robbery and wrong;[f]
I will faithfully give them their recompense,
    and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants shall be known among the nations,
    and their offspring in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
    that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed.
