(A)Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And [a]foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
But you will be called the (B)priests of the Lord;
You will be spoken of as (C)ministers of our God.
You will eat the (D)wealth of nations,
And in their [b]riches you will boast.
Instead of your (E)shame you will have a (F)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
(G)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
