7. Instead of shame, you will get a double portion;instead of humiliation, they will rejoice over the land they receive.Yes, they will possess a double portion in their landand experience lasting joy.
8. For I, the Lord, love justiceand hate robbery and sin.I will repay them because of my faithfulness;I will make a permanent covenant with them.
9. Their descendants will be known among the nations,their offspring among the peoples.All who see them will recognize thatthe Lord has blessed them.”
10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;I will be overjoyed because of my God.For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication.I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would;I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry.
11. For just as the ground produces its cropsand a garden yields its produce,so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance to grow,and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.
