Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,
and foreigners will be your ploughmen and vinedressers.(A)
But you will be called the Lord’s priests;(B)
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;(C)
in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.
So they will possess double in their land,(D)
and eternal joy will be theirs.

Strangers(A) will shepherd your flocks;
    foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
And you will be called priests(B) of the Lord,
    you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth(C) of nations,
    and in their riches you will boast.

Instead of your shame(D)
    you will receive a double(E) portion,
and instead of disgrace
    you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(F) a double portion in your land,
    and everlasting joy(G) will be yours.
