6But you will be called Yahweh’s priests.Men will call you the servants of our God.You will eat the wealth of the nations.You will boast in their glory. 7Instead of your shame you will have double.Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion.Therefore in their land they will possess double.Everlasting joy will be to them. 8“For I, Yahweh, love justice.I hate robbery and iniquity.I will give them their reward in truthand I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9Their offspring will be known among the nations,and their offspring among the peoples.All who see them will acknowledge them,that they are the offspring which Yahweh has blessed.” 10I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh!My soul will 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 a garlandand as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
