Instead of your shame
    you shall have double honor,
and instead of humiliation
    they shall rejoice over their portion.
Therefore, in their land they shall possess a double portion;
    everlasting joy shall be theirs.

For I, the Lord, love justice,
    I hate robbery in the burnt offering;
and I will faithfully give them their recompense
    and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants shall be known among the nations
    and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them shall acknowledge them
    because they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.
