LEB(i)
2 to ⌊proclaim⌋* the year of Yahweh's favor, and our God's day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning,
3 to ⌊give⌋* for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And ⌊they will be called⌋* oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.
4 And they shall build the ancient ruins, they shall erect the former deserted places. And they shall restore the ⌊devastated cities⌋,* the deserted places of ⌊many generations⌋.*
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,* and ⌊foreigners⌋* shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
6 But* you shall be called the priests of Yahweh, ⌊you will be called⌋* servers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and you shall boast in their riches.
7 Instead of your shame, a double portion, and instead of insult, they will rejoice over their portion. Therefore they will take a double portion in their land; ⌊they shall possess everlasting joy⌋.*
8 For I, Yahweh, love justice, hate robbery and* injustice, and I will ⌊faithfully⌋* give their reward, and I will ⌊make⌋* an everlasting covenant ⌊with⌋* them.
9 And their descendants* will be known among the nations, and their offspring in the midst of the peoples. All those who see them shall recognize them, that they are descendants* whom Yahweh has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; my being shall shout in exultation in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns himself with a head wrap like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewelry.
11 For as the earth ⌊produces⌋* its sprout, and as a garden makes its plants sprout, so the Lord Yahweh will make righteousness sprout, and praise before all the nations.
