Bible. Isaiah
23:061:002 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
23:061:003 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.
23:061:004 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.
23:061:005 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons
of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
23:061:006 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.
23:061:007 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.
23:061:008 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.
23:061:009 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.
23:061:010 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, and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels.
23:061:011 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.
23:062:001 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth
as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that
burneth.
23:062:002 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings
thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the
mouth of the LORD shall name.
23:062:003 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
