Isaiah 61:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 but you shall be called the priests of the Lord,
men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their riches you shall glory.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have a double portion,
instead of dishonor you[a] shall rejoice in your[b] lot;
therefore in your[c] land you[d] shall possess a double portion;
yours[e] shall be everlasting joy.
8 For I the Lord love justice,
I hate robbery and wrong;[f]
I will faithfully give them their recompense,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
