Isaiah 45:8
New American Standard Bible
God’s Supreme Power
8 “(A)Drip down, heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the (B)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(C)And righteousness sprout with it.
I, the Lord, have created it.
Isaiah 61:10-62:1
New American Standard Bible
10 I will (A)rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will be joyful in (B)my God;
For He has (C)clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a groom puts on a turban,
And (D)as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the (E)earth produces its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord [a]God will (F)cause (G)righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
Zion’s Glory and New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her (H)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her (I)salvation like a torch that is burning.
