The Lord says to his people,

‘Foreign people will take care of your sheep for you.
They will work on your farms,
    and they will take care of your vines.[a]
People will call you
    “The Lord's priests who are servants of our God”.
You will enjoy valuable things from other nations.
You will boast about all the riches
    that you receive from them.
You will not be ashamed any more.
    Instead, you will receive twice as much blessing.
People will not say that you are useless.
    Instead, you will live happily on your own land.
Yes, my people will have twice the crops from their land,
    And so they will always be very happy.
