Isaiah 61:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For your shame you shall receive [a]double, and for confusion, [b]they shall rejoice in [c]their portion: for in their land they shall possess the [d]double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8 For I the Lord love judgment, and hate [e]robbery for burnt offering, and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And [f]their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their buds among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.

Isaiah 61:7-9
New International Version
7 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.
8 “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.
9 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)
