In place of your shame, you will receive a double portion.
Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their share of the land.
In fact, in their land they will inherit a double portion.
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
Yes, I am the Lord. I love justice.
I hate robbery in a burnt offering.[a]
I will repay them in faithfulness,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize
    that they are offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
