But you will be called the Lord’s priests;(A)
they will speak of you as ministers of our God;
you will eat the wealth of the nations,
and you will boast in their riches.
Because your shame was double,(B)
and they cried out, “Disgrace is their portion,”
therefore, they will possess double in their land,(C)
and eternal joy will be theirs.

For I Yahweh love justice;(D)
I hate robbery and injustice;[a]
I will faithfully reward them
and make an everlasting covenant(E) with them.
