Isaiah 61:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Instead of being put to shame
    you will receive a double share of wealth.
Instead of being dishonored
    you will be glad to be in your land.
You will receive a double share of riches there.
    And you’ll be filled with joy that will last forever.

⁸ The Lord says, “I love those who do what is right.
    I hate it when people steal and do other sinful things.
So I will be faithful to my people.
    And I will bless them.
I will make a covenant with them
    that will last forever.
⁹ Their children after them will be famous among the nations.
    Their families will be praised by people everywhere.
All those who see them will agree
    that I have blessed them.”
