within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
19
The sun shall be
no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the L
ORD
shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20
Thy sun shall no more go down;
neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the L
ORD
shall be thine everlasting light, and the days
of thy mourning shall be ended.
21
Thy people also
shall be
all righteous: they shall inherit the land
for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22
A little one
shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the L
ORD
will hasten it in his time.
CHAPTER 61
The Spirit of the Lord GOD
is
upon me; because the L
ORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings
unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to
them that are
bound;
2
To proclaim the acceptable year of the L
ORD
,
and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3
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 L
ORD
,
that he might be glorified.
4
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.
5
And strangers shall stand and feed
your flocks, and the sons of the alien
shall be
your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6
But ye shall
be named the Priests of the L
ORD
:
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.
7
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.
8
For I the
L
ORD
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.
9
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 L
ORD
hath blessed.
10
I will greatly rejoice in the L
ORD
, 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.
11
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.
