    you will be named ministers of our God.

    and in their riches you will boast.

Instead of your shame(O)
    you will receive a double(P) portion,
and instead of disgrace
    you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(Q) a double portion in your land,
    and everlasting joy(R) will be yours.

All who see them will acknowledge
    that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(V)

    and as a bride(Z) adorns herself with her jewels.

    and a garden(AA) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(AB)
    and praise spring up before all nations.
