Instead of your shame you will receive double,
    and instead of disgrace people will shout with joy over your[a] inheritance;
therefore you[b] will inherit a double portion in their land;
    everlasting joy will be yours.”[c]

“For I, the Lord, love justice,
    and[d] I hate robbery and iniquity;
I will faithfully present your reward[e]
    and make an everlasting covenant with you.[f]
Your[g] offspring will be known among the nations,
    and your[h] descendants among the people.[i]
All who see them will acknowledge them,
    that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.”
