In place of your shame, you will receive a double portion.
Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their share of the land.
In fact, in their land they will inherit a double portion.
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
Yes, I am the Lord. I love justice.
I hate robbery in a burnt offering.[a]
I will repay them in faithfulness,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize
    that they are offspring whom the Lord has blessed.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 61:8 The translation follows the reading of most Hebrew manuscripts. A variant found in some Hebrew manuscripts and supported by the ancient versions reads with wrongdoing.

Instead of your shame(A)
    you will receive a double(B) portion,
and instead of disgrace
    you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(C) a double portion in your land,
    and everlasting joy(D) will be yours.

“For I, the Lord, love justice;(E)
    I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
    and make an everlasting covenant(F) with them.
Their descendants(G) will be known among the nations
    and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
    that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(H)
