Yesaya 61:11

61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops

and a garden yields its produce,

so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance ¹  to grow,

and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations. ² 

Markus 4:28

4:28 By itself the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.

[61:11]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “righteousness,” but the context seems to emphasize deliverance and restoration (see v. 10 and 62:1).

[61:11]  ² tn Heb “and praise before all the nations.”
