Isaiah 61:8-11
New Living Translation
8 “For I, the Lord, love justice.
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be recognized
and honored among the nations.
Everyone will realize that they are a people
the Lord has blessed.”
10 I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God!
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.
11 The Sovereign Lord will show his justice to the nations of the world.
Everyone will praise him!
His righteousness will be like a garden in early spring,
with plants springing up everywhere.
Isaiah 61:8-11
New International Version
8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;(A)
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant(B) with them.
9 Their descendants(C) will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(D)
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(E) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(F)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(G) like a priest,
and as a bride(H) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(I) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(J)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:8-11
King James Version
8 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
