Strangers will come forth to shepherd your flocks;
    foreigners will farm your land and dress your vines.
But you will be called priests of the Lord;
    and you will be named ministers of our God.
You will enjoy the wealth of the nations,
    and their former glory will be yours.
Because you endured a double measure of shame
    and were regarded as deserving of dishonor and disgrace,
you will receive a double portion,
    and everlasting joy will be yours.

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.
