“For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness to spring up before all the nations.”

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God, for as he has clothed me with garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”
