But you will be called the (A)priests of the Lord;
You will be spoken of as (B)ministers of our God.
You will eat the (C)wealth of nations,
And you will boast in their [a]riches.
Instead of your (D)shame you will have a (E)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
(F)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
For I, the Lord, (G)love justice,
I hate robbery [b]in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their reward,
And make an (H)everlasting covenant with them.
