You will not be ashamed any more.
    Instead, you will receive twice as much blessing.
People will not say that you are useless.
    Instead, you will live happily on your own land.
Yes, my people will have twice the crops from their land,
    And so they will always be very happy.
I, the Lord, love justice.
I hate it when people rob others,
    or they do other wrong things.
Because I am faithful,
    I will give help to my people.
I will make a covenant with them
    that will continue for ever.
Their descendants will be famous
    among the other nations.
Everyone who sees them will know
    that the Lord has blessed them.’
