For
as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to
grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring
up before all nations.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's
sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out
like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all
kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth
of the LORD will bestow.
You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
(Isaiah 61:11-62:3 NIV)
