Instead of your shame, a double portion,
    and instead of insult, they will rejoice over their portion.
Therefore they will take a double portion in their land;
    they shall possess everlasting joy.[a]
For I, Yahweh, love justice,
    hate robbery and[b] injustice,
and I will faithfully[c] give their reward,
    and I will make[d] an everlasting covenant with[e] them.
And their descendants[f] will be known among the nations,
    and their offspring in the midst of the peoples.
All those who see them shall recognize them,
    that they are descendants[g] whom Yahweh has blessed.
