4 They shall build the old ruins;they shall raise up the former desolations,and they shall repair the waste cities,the desolations of many generations.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord;men shall call you the ministers of our God.You shall eat the riches of the nations,and in their glory you shall boast.
7 Instead of your shameyou shall have double honor,and instead of humiliationthey shall rejoice over their portion.Therefore, in their land they shall possess a double portion;everlasting joy shall be theirs.
8 For I, the Lord, love justice,I hate robbery in the burnt offering;and I will faithfully give them their recompenseand make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants shall be known among the nationsand their offspring among the peoples.All who see them shall acknowledge thembecause they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,my soul shall be joyful in my God;for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
