And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.

And ye are called `Priests of Jehovah,' `Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.

Instead of your shame and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for 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.
