New Testament

Isaiah 61:5-11 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. Foreigners will come forward and become shepherds for your flocks,and children of foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

6. You will be called the priests of the Lord.You will be called the servants of our God.You will consume the wealth of the nations.You will boast in their splendor.

7. You will receive a double measure of wealth instead of your shame.You will sing about your wealth instead of being disgraced.That is why you will have a double measure of wealth in your land.You will have everlasting joy.

8. I, the Lord, love justice.I hate robbery and wrongdoing.I will faithfully reward my people’s work.I will make an everlasting promise to them.

9. Then their offspring will be known among the nationsand their descendants among the people.Everyone who sees them will recognizethat they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.

10. I will find joy in the Lord.I will delight in my God.He has dressed me in the clothes of salvation.He has wrapped me in the robe of righteousnesslike a bridegroom with a priest’s turban,like a bride with her jewels.

11. Like the ground that brings forth its cropsand like a garden that makes the seed in it grow,so the Almighty Lord will make righteousness and praisespring up in front of all nations.
