⁴ And they shall build the ancient ruins,
    they shall erect the former deserted places.
And they shall restore the devastated cities,^[a]
    the deserted places of many generations.^[b]
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,^[c]
    and foreigners^[d] shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
⁶ But^[e] you shall be called the priests of Yahweh,
    you will be called^[f] servers of our God.
You shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and you shall boast in their riches.
⁷ Instead of your shame, a double portion,
    and instead of insult, they will rejoice over their portion.
Therefore they will take a double portion in their land;
    they shall possess everlasting joy.^[g]
8 For I, Yahweh, love justice,
    hate robbery and^[h] injustice,
and I will faithfully^[i] give their reward,
    and I will make^[j] an everlasting covenant with^[k] them.
⁹ And their descendants^[l] will be known among the nations,
    and their offspring in the midst of the peoples.
All those who see them shall recognize them,
    that they are descendants^[m] whom Yahweh has blessed.
