Isaiah 61:10

61:10 I24 will greatly rejoice25 in the Lord;

I will be overjoyed because of my God.26

For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;

he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication.27

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.28
