Isaiah 61:6-9
English Standard Version
6 (A)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(B)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their glory you shall boast.
7 (C)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.
8 (D)For I the Lord love justice;
I hate robbery and wrong;[a]
(E)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
(F)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 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.
