But[a] you shall be called the priests of Yahweh,
    you will be called[b] 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.[c]
For I, Yahweh, love justice,
    hate robbery and[d] injustice,
and I will faithfully[e] give their reward,
    and I will make[f] an everlasting covenant with[g] them.
