You will receive a double measure of wealth instead of your shame.
    You will sing about your wealth instead of being disgraced.
    That is why you will have a double measure of wealth in your land.
        You will have everlasting joy.
I, Yahweh, love justice.
    I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
    I will faithfully reward my people’s work.
    I will make an everlasting promise[a] to them.
Then their offspring will be known among the nations
    and their descendants among the people.
        Everyone who sees them will recognize
            that they are the descendants whom Yahweh has blessed.
