But you will be called the Lord’s priests;(A)
they will speak of you as ministers of our God;
you will eat the wealth of the nations,
and you will boast in their riches.
In place of your shame, you will have a double portion;(B)
in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.
So they will possess double in their land,(C)
and eternal joy will be theirs.

For I the Lord love justice;(D)
I hate robbery and injustice;[a]
I will faithfully reward my people
and make a permanent covenant(E) with them.
