isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame [you will have a] double [portion], And [instead of] humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double [portion] in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs.

< Isaiah 61:6
Isaiah 61:8 >

      7. double--Instead of your past share, ye shall have not merely as much, but "double" as much reward (Isa 40:2; Zec 9:12; compare the third clause in this verse).
      confusion--rather, "humiliation," or "contumely."
      rejoice--They shall celebrate with jubilation their portion [MAURER]. Transition from the second to the third person.
      in their land--marking the reference to literal Israel, not to the Church at large.
      everlasting joy-- (Isa 35:10).
