4And they shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 wastesH2723, they shall raise upH6965 the formerH7223 desolationsH8074, and they shall repairH2318 the wasteH2721 citiesH5892, the desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. 5And strangersH2114 shall standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocksH6629, and the sonsH1121 of the alienH5236 shall be your plowmenH406 and your vinedressersH3755. 6But ye shall be namedH7121 the PriestsH3548 of YhwhH3068: men shall callH559 you the MinistersH8334 of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398 the richesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boastH3235 yourselves.

7For your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portionH2506: therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 the doubleH4932: everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be unto them. 8For I YhwhH3068 loveH157 judgmentH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 for burnt offeringH5930; and I will directH5414 their workH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them. 9And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the GentilesH1471, and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288.
