61:6 You will be called, ‘the Lord’s priests,
servants of our God.’ 1
You will enjoy 2 the wealth of nations
and boast about 3 the riches you receive from them. 4
66:1 This is what the Lord says:
“The heavens are my throne
and the earth is my footstool.
Where then is the house you will build for me?
Where is the place where I will rest?
