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.

  1. Isaiah 61:8 Or with malice

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.
