Yes, I am the Lord. I love justice.
I hate robbery in a burnt offering.[a]
I will repay them in faithfulness,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize
    that they are offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord.
My soul will celebrate because of my God,
for he has clothed me in garments of salvation.
With a robe of righteousness he covered me,
like a bridegroom who wears a beautiful headdress like a priest,
and like a bride who adorns herself with her jewelry.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 61:8 The translation follows the reading of most Hebrew manuscripts. A variant found in some Hebrew manuscripts and supported by the ancient versions reads with wrongdoing.

“For I, the Lord, love justice;(A)
    I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
    and make an everlasting covenant(B) with them.
Their descendants(C) 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.”(D)

10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices(E) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(F)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(G) like a priest,
    and as a bride(H) adorns herself with her jewels.
