以賽亞書 61：8-11
現代文譯本（2019）
8 上主這樣說：
我喜愛正義；
我恨惡搶奪和罪惡。
我要信實地獎賞我的子民；
我要與他們訂立永久的約。
9 他們的子孫要在萬國中享盛譽；
他們的後代要在萬民中被尊重。
每一個看見他們的人都要承認：
他們是蒙我賜福的子民。
10 耶路撒冷因上主的作為欣喜。
上主給它穿上救恩和公義的禮服，
像新郎戴上禮帽，像新娘佩帶首飾。
11 正像種子發芽生長，
至高的上主要拯救他的子民；
萬國都要頌讚他。
ESV
8 For I the LORD love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are an offspring the LORD has blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 or as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
新郎和新娘的穿著 西亞地區衣著和打扮的線索多半靠著圖像。古代以色列新郎和新娘都穿著典禮用服飾。巴比倫和以色列新娘有時候穿著刺繡的衣服（詩四十五13～14），特殊的腰帶（珥二32）和面紗（創二十四65）。此處新郎戴著「華冠」。特殊節慶服飾的不同，可能也取決於婚姻雙方的經濟情況。
