61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,

their offspring among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize that

the Lord has blessed them.” ¹ 

61:10 I ²  will greatly rejoice ³  in the Lord;

I will be overjoyed because of my God. ⁴ 

For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;

he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication. ⁵ 

I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would;

I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry. ⁶ 

61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops

and a garden yields its produce,

so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance ⁷  to grow,

and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations. ⁸
