In place of your shame, you will have a double portion;(A)
in place of disgrace, they will rejoice over their share.
So they will possess double in their land,(B)
and eternal joy will be theirs.

For I the Lord love justice;(C)
I hate robbery and injustice;[a]
I will faithfully reward my people
and make a permanent covenant(D) with them.
Their descendants will be known among the nations,
and their posterity among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.
