Isaiah:61:3-11

*
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion ,
to give unto them beauty for ashes ,
the oil of joy for mourning ,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness ;
that they might be called trees of righteousness ,
the planting of the LORD ,
that he might be glorified .
*
And they shall build the old wastes ,
they shall raise up the former desolations ,
and they shall repair the waste cities ,
the desolations of many generations .
*
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks tso #
n #,
and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers .
*
But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD :
men shall call you the Ministers of our God :
ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles ,
and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves .
*
For your shame ye shall have double ;
and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion :
therefore in their land they shall possess the double :
everlasting joy shall be unto them .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 p @#
er #,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels .
*
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 .
