4 Then they will rebuild citiesthat have been in ruinsfor many generations.
5 They will hire foreignersto take care of their sheepand their vineyards.
6 But they themselves will bepriests and servantsof the Lord our God.The treasures of the nationswill belong to them,and they will be famous.
7 They were terribly insultedand horribly mistreated;now they will be greatly blessedand joyful forever.
8 I, the Lord, love justice!But I hate robberyand injustice.My people, I solemnly promiseto reward youwith an eternal agreement.
9 Your descendants will be knownin every nation.All who see them will realizethat they have been blessed,by me, the Lord.
10 I celebrate and shoutbecause of my Lord God.His saving power and justiceare the very clothes I wear.They are more beautifulthan the jewelry wornby a bride or groom.
