TSK · Isaiah 61:3

Now Mordecai went out from the king’s presence in blue and white royal attire, with a large golden crown and a purple linen mantle. The city of Susa shouted with joy.

You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; my cup is completely full.

So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will always give thanks to you.

The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.

Let your clothes always be white, and do not spare precious ointment on your head.

Your sun will no longer set; your moon will not disappear; the LORD will be your permanent source of light; your time of sorrow will be over.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; I will be overjoyed because of my God. For he clothes me in garments of deliverance; he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication. 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.

“‘Then I passed by you and watched you, noticing that you had reached the age for love. I spread my cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I swore a solemn oath to you and entered into a marriage covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine.

In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven.

But the father said to his slaves,‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!

I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you.
