Isaiah 61:7–9

7 Instead of your shame

you will receive a double portion,

and instead of disgrace

you will rejoice in your inheritance.

And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,

and everlasting joy will be yours.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;

I hate robbery and wrongdoing.

In my faithfulness I will reward my people

and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants will be known among the nations

and their offspring among the peoples.

All who see them will acknowledge

that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

7 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.

8 For I the Lord love judgment,

I hate robbery for burnt offering;

And I will direct their work in truth,

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles,

And their offspring among the people:

All that see them shall acknowledge them,

That they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.

7 Instead of shame and dishonor,

you will enjoy a double share of honor.

You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land,

and everlasting joy will be yours.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice.

I hate robbery and wrongdoing.

I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering

and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants will be recognized

and honored among the nations.

Everyone will realize that they are a people

the Lord has blessed.”

7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,

And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.

Therefore in their land they shall possess double;

Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;

I hate robbery for burnt offering;

I will direct their work in truth,

And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,

And their offspring among the people.

All who see them shall acknowledge them,

That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

7 Instead of being ashamed, my people will receive twice as much wealth.

Instead of being disgraced, they will be happy because of what they receive.

They will receive a double share of the land,

so their happiness will continue forever.

8 “I, the Lord, love justice.

I hate stealing and everything that is wrong.

I will be fair and give my people what they should have,

and I will make an agreement with them that will continue forever.

9 Everyone in all nations will know the children of my people,

and their children will be known among the nations.

Anyone who sees them will know

that they are people the Lord has blessed.”

7 Instead of your shame ye shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed.

7 Instead of your shame ye shall have double; instead of confusion they shall celebrate with joy their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I, Jehovah, love judgment, I hate robbery with wrong; and I will give their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are a seed that Jehovah hath blessed.

7 You will receive a double measure of wealth instead of your shame. 

You will sing about your wealth instead of being disgraced. 

That is why you will have a double measure of wealth in your land. 

You will have everlasting joy. 

8 I, the Lord, love justice. 

I hate robbery and wrongdoing. 

I will faithfully reward my people’s work. 

I will make an everlasting promiseto them. 

9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations 

and their descendants among the people. 

Everyone who sees them will recognize 

that they are the descendants whom the Lord has blessed. 

7 Because your shame was double,

and they cried out, “Disgrace is their portion,”

therefore, they will possess double in their land,

and eternal joy will be theirs.

8 For I Yahweh love justice;

I hate robbery and injustice;

I will faithfully reward them

and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,

and their posterity among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize

that they are a people the Lord has blessed.

7 Because their shame was double

and dishonor was proclaimed as their lot,

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 and wrongdoing;

I will faithfully give them their recompense,

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the nations

and their offspring among the peoples;

all who see them shall acknowledge

that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed.

7 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.

8 For I, Yahweh, love justice,

hate robbery and injustice,

and I will faithfully give their reward,

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 And their descendants will be known among the nations,

and their offspring in the midst of the peoples.

All those who see them shall recognize them,

that they are descendants whom Yahweh has blessed.

7 Instead of being put to shame

my people will receive a double share of wealth.

Instead of being dishonored

they will be glad to be in their land.

They will receive a double share of riches there.

And they’ll be filled with joy that will last forever.

8 The Lord says, “I love those who do what is right.

I hate it when people steal and do other sinful things.

So I will be faithful to those who do what is right.

And I will bless them.

I will make a covenant with them

that will last forever.

9 Their children after them will be famous among the nations.

Their families will be praised by people everywhere.

All those who see them will agree

that I have blessed them.”

7 Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,

And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.

Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,

Everlasting joy will be theirs.

8 For I, the Lord, love justice,

I hate robbery in the burnt offering;

And I will faithfully give them their recompense

And make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations,

And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.

All who see them will recognize them

Because they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
