Many called you disgraced and defiled and said that shame should be your share of things.
    Yet you suffered doubly and lived in disgrace;
So double will be your share, and with joy everlasting.

Eternal One: For I, the Eternal, love justice.
        I hate stealing and all manner of wrongdoing.
    In faithfulness to those who do justice, I promise they will be rewarded for their work;
        and I will establish an everlasting covenant with them.
    Furthermore, I will promise them My support for their children,
        so that all nations and everyone around
    Will see that they are the children blessed by the Eternal God.

“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.

    and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
    that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(H)
