Isaiah 61:8 in Context — Isaiah 61

6 Porém vós sereis chamados sacerdotes do SENHOR; chamarão a vós de trabalhadores a serviço de nosso Deus; comereis dos bens das nações, e da riqueza deles vós vos orgulhareis.

7 Em vez de vossa vergonha, [tereis] porção dobrada; e [em vez] de humilhação, terão alegria sobre sua parte; pois em sua terra terão posse do dobro, [e] terão alegria eterna.

8 Porque eu, o SENHOR, amo a justiça, e odeio o roubo com sacrifício de queima; e farei que sua obra seja em verdade, e farei um pacto eterno com eles.

9 E sua descendência será conhecida entre as nações, e seus descendentes em meio aos povos; todos quantos os virem, os reconhecerão, que são descendência abençoada pelo SENHOR.

10 Eu estou muito jubilante no SENHOR, minha alma se alegra em meu Deus; porque ele me vestiu de roupas de salvação; ele me cobriu com a capa da justiça, tal como o noivo [quando] se veste da roupa sacerdotal, e como a noiva se enfeita com suas joias.
