They shall call you the servants of our God.
bYou shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
bI hate robbery1 for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
cAnd will make with them an everlasting covenant.
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
aThat they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For bHe has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
cAs a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord God will cause arighteousness and bpraise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 61:8
I hate robbery for burnt-offering "Who hate rapine and iniquity" - The Syriac, and Chaldee prefix the conjunction vau , instead of the preposition beth , to olah , which they render iniquity or oppression; and so the Septuagint, . The difference lies in the punctuation; beolah , in a burnt-offering beavelah , in iniquity. The letters are the same in both words. Five of De Rossi' s MSS. confirm this reading.
