² Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
    and cry to her
that she has served her term,
    that her penalty is paid,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
    double for all her sins.^(A)

¹² Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
    today I declare that I will restore to you double.^(A)

⁷ Because their^[a] shame was double
    and dishonor was proclaimed as their lot,
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
    everlasting joy shall be theirs.^(A)

⁶ Render to her as she herself has rendered,
    and repay her double for her deeds;
    mix a double dose for her in the cup she mixed.^(A)

²² I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.^(A)
