Isaiah 61:4–5

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins

and restore the places long devastated;

they will renew the ruined cities

that have been devastated for generations.

5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks;

foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

4 They shall build up the ancient ruins;

they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities,

the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;

foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;

4 And they shall build the old wastes,

They shall raise up the former desolations,

And they shall repair the waste cities,

The desolations of many generations.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

And the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins,

repairing cities destroyed long ago.

They will revive them,

though they have been deserted for many generations.

5 Foreigners will be your servants.

They will feed your flocks

and plow your fields

and tend your vineyards.

4 They will rebuild the old ruins

and restore the places destroyed long ago.

They will repair the ruined cities

that were destroyed for so long.

5 My people, foreigners will come to tend your sheep.

People from other countries will tend your fields and vineyards.

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers.

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the places desolate from generation to generation. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and your vinedressers.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins. 

They will restore the places destroyed long ago. 

They will renew the ruined cities, the places destroyed generations ago. 

5 Foreigners will come forward and become shepherds for your flocks, 

and children of foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. 

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins;

they will restore the former devastations;

they will renew the ruined cities,

the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,

and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.

4 They shall build up the ancient ruins;

they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities,

the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks;

foreigners shall till your land and dress your vines,

4 And they shall build the ancient ruins,

they shall erect the former deserted places.

And they shall restore the devastated cities,

the deserted places of many generations.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

and foreigners shall be your farmers and vinedressers.

4 They will rebuild the places that were destroyed long ago.

They will repair the buildings that have been broken down for many years.

They will make the destroyed cities like new again.

They have been broken down for a very long time.

5 Outsiders will serve you by taking care of your flocks.

People from other lands will work in your fields and vineyards.

4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,

They will raise up the former devastations;

And they will repair the ruined cities,

The desolations of many generations.

5 Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,

And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
