60:21 All of your people will be godly; 1
they will possess the land permanently.
I will plant them like a shoot;
they will be the product of my labor,
through whom I reveal my splendor. 2
61:7 Instead of shame, you will get a double portion; 3
instead of humiliation, they will rejoice over the land they receive. 4
Yes, 5 they will possess a double portion in their land
and experience lasting joy.
