Instead of your (A)shame you will have a (B)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
(C)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
For I, the Lord, (D)love justice,
I hate robbery [a]in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their reward,
And make an (E)everlasting covenant with them.
