But as for you, you will be called priests of the Lord,
    and[a] you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of the nations,
    and you will boast about their riches.

    and instead of disgrace people will shout with joy over your[b] inheritance;
therefore you[c] will inherit a double portion in their land;

    and[e] I hate robbery and iniquity;
I will faithfully present your reward[f]
    and make an everlasting covenant with you.[g]
