Isaiah 61:6-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. But you shall be named the priests of the Lord;men shall call you the ministers of our God.You shall eat the riches of the nations,and in their glory you shall boast.

7. Instead of your shameyou shall have double honor,and instead of humiliationthey shall rejoice over their portion.Therefore, in their land they shall possess a double portion;everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8. For I, the Lord, love justice,I hate robbery in the burnt offering;and I will faithfully give them their recompenseand make an everlasting covenant with them.

9. Their descendants shall be known among the nationsand their offspring among the peoples.All who see them shall acknowledge thembecause they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.

10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,my soul shall be joyful in my God;for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
