And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

¶ For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

Strangers(A) will shepherd your flocks;
    foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
And you will be called priests(B) of the Lord,
    you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth(C) of nations,
    and in their riches you will boast.

Instead of your shame(D)
    you will receive a double(E) portion,
and instead of disgrace
    you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(F) a double portion in your land,
    and everlasting joy(G) will be yours.
