Isaiah 61:4-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
4 They shall build up the ancient ruins,
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
5 Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks,
foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
6 but you shall be called the priests of the Lord,
men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their riches you shall glory.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have a double portion,
instead of dishonor you[a] shall rejoice in your[b] lot;
therefore in your[c] land you[d] shall possess a double portion;
yours[e] shall be everlasting joy.
