Isaiah 61:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the strangers shall [a]stand and feed your sheep, and the sons of the strangers shall be your plowmen, and dressers of your vines.
6 But ye shall be named the [b]Priests of the Lord, and men shall say unto you, The ministers of our God: Ye shall eat the [c]riches of the Gentiles, and shall be exalted with their glory.
7 For your shame you shall receive [d]double, and for confusion, [e]they shall rejoice in [f]their portion: for in their land they shall possess the [g]double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
