Isaiah 61:8-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 For I, the Lord, (A)love justice,
I hate robbery [a]in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
And make an (B)everlasting covenant with them.
9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the (C)offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
