Instead of being put to shame
    you will receive a double share of wealth.
Instead of being dishonored
    you will be glad to be in your land.
You will receive a double share of riches there.
    And you’ll be filled with joy that will last forever.

The Lord says, “I love those who do what is right.
    I hate it when people steal and do other sinful things.
So I will be faithful to my people.
    And I will bless them.
I will make a covenant with them
    that will last forever.
Their children after them will be famous among the nations.
    Their families will be praised by people everywhere.
All those who see them will agree
    that I have blessed them.”
