Instead of being ashamed, you will receive twice as much wealth.
    Instead of being disgraced, you will be happy because of what you receive.
You will receive a double share of the land.
    So your happiness will continue forever.
The Lord says, “I love justice.
    I hate stealing and everything that is wrong.
I will be fair and give my people what they should have.
    I will make an agreement with them that will continue forever.
Everyone in all nations will know the children of my people.
    And their children will be known among the nations.
Anyone who sees them will know
    that the Lord blesses them.”
