Instead of your (A)shame you will have a (B)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
(C)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
For I, the Lord, (D)love justice,
I hate robbery [a]in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
And make an (E)everlasting covenant with them.
Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the (F)offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
