And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,[a]
    and foreigners[b] shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
But[c] you shall be called the priests of Yahweh,
    you will be called[d] servers of our God.
You shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and you shall boast in their riches.
Instead of your shame, a double portion,
    and instead of insult, they will rejoice over their portion.
Therefore they will take a double portion in their land;
    they shall possess everlasting joy.[e]
