Isaiah 61:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ I, the Lord, love justice!
But I hate robbery
    and injustice.^[a]
My people, I solemnly promise
to reward you
    with an eternal agreement.
⁹ Your descendants will be known
    in every nation.
All who see them will realize
that they have been blessed,
    by me, the Lord.

^10 (A) I celebrate and shout
    because of my Lord God.
His saving power and justice
    are the very clothes I wear.
They are more beautiful
than the jewelry worn
    by a bride or groom.
