7For your shame ye shall have double ; And for confusion they shall_re- joice in their portion : Therefore in their land they shall_ possess the double: Everlasting joy shall_be unto them. 8 For £ Jthe Lorp love judgment, +Ihate robbery for « burnt_offer-
ing 5 ren swill_g direct their r work in truth, And I will_cmake an everlasting covenant with them. % And their seed -shall_be-_known among the » Gentiles, And their offspring among the
=people :
All that_see them shall_acknow- ledge them,
That thep are the seed which J the Lorp hath blessed.
My soul shall_be joyful in my
=God;
For He -hath_clothed me with the_ garments_of salvation,
He -shath_covered me with the_ robe_of righteousness,
As abridegroom «'decketh himself with ornaments,
And as a bride tadorneth herself with her jewels.
il For as the earth tbringeth_forth her bud,
And as the garden causeth the things_that_are_sown_in it to spring_forth ;
So Athe =Lord !Gop will_ cause righteousness. and praise to_ spring_forth before all the na- tions.
FOR Zion’s sake will I not hold_ my_peace, And for Jerusalem’s:sake I will not rest, Until the_righteousness thereof 'go_forth as xbrightness, And the_salvation thereof as a lamp that ‘burneth. 2And the »Gentiles -shall_see thy righteousness, And all kings thy glory: And thou -shalt_be_called. by a new name, Which the_mouth_of ! the Lorp shall_e name. 3 Thou -shalt also be a crown_of beglory in the_hand_of ‘the
RD, And a royal diadem in the_hand_ of thy =God. 4Thou shalt no more be _ termed h Forsaken ; Neither shall thy land any more be_termed s Desolate: But thou shalt_be_called * Heph- zibah, And thy land ? Beulah: For 4 the Lorp -delighteth in thee, And thy land shall_be_married. 5 For as a young_man 'marrieth a Virgin, So shall thy sons marry thee : And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,

Which shallnever hold_their_peace axday nor xnight :
x1Ye_t that make_mention_of !-the Lorp, -keep not silence,
7 And tgive Him no s‘rest, till He Festablish, And till He 'make -Jerusalem a raise in the earth. 83 The Lord shath_sworn by His right_hand,
And by the_arm_of His strength,
‘Surely I will no more give thy -corn to be meat for thine ene- mies ;
And the_sons_of the stranger shall not drink thy “wine, for the which thou shast_laboured :

And the_praises_of ? the Lorn,
According to all that ‘the Lorp hath bestowed_on us,
And the great goodness ‘toward the_ house_of Israél
Which He hath bestowed on them
According_to His mercies,
And according_to the_multitude_ of His lovingkindnesses.
8 For sale Surely thep are My -people, sChildren that will not lie:” So He was their Saviour. 9In all their affliction He was_ afflicted,
And the_angel_of His presence
saved them :
Ink His love and in His pity He rre- deemed them :
And He bare them, and carried them all the_days_of old.
10 But thep rebelled, and «vexed His holy «Spirit :
Therefore He was_turned to be their enemy, and He fought against them.
11Then He remembered the_days_ of old,
Moses, and His -people, saying,
“Where ts xsHe_that brought _ them_up out_of the sea
With the_sh shepherd_of His flock ?
Where zs x1He_that put His holy «Spirit within him ?

To make Himself an everlasting name?
13 «That_led them through the deep,
As a xhorse in the wilderness,
That they tshould not stumble ?
14 As a xbeast 'goeth_down into the

And Israél tacknowledge us not:
