Isaiah 61:9-11
International Standard Version
9 Your[a] offspring will be known among the nations,
and your[b] descendants among the people.[c]
All who see them will acknowledge them,
that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.”
Rejoicing in God’s Deliverance
10 “I will heartily rejoice in the Lord,
my soul will delight in my God;
for he has wrapped me in garments of salvation;
he has arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
just like a bridegroom,
like a priest[d] with a garland,
and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For just as the soil brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden makes what is sown within it spring up,
so the Lord God[e] will make righteousness and praise
spring up before all the nations for Zion’s sake.”[f]

New International Version
9 Their descendants(A) will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(B)
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(C) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(D)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(E) like a priest,
and as a bride(F) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(G) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(H)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:9-11
King James Version
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 Lord hath blessed.
10 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.
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.
