52:1 Wake up! Wake up!
Clothe yourself with strength, O Zion!
Put on your beautiful clothes,
O Jerusalem, 1 holy city!
For uncircumcised and unclean pagans
will no longer invade you.
61:10 I 2 will greatly rejoice 3 in the Lord;
I will be overjoyed because of my God. 4
For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;
he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication. 5
I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would;
I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry. 6
