Isaiah 61:10-11

The Year of the Lord's Favor

¹⁰ _j I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
_k for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself _l like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
_m and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹ For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause _n righteousness and praise
to sprout up before all the nations.
