For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Instead of your shame, you will receive double blessings; and instead of disgrace, they will celebrate their inheritance. So in their own land they will receive twice as much as they lost, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
God is promising that He will replace His people's shame and disgrace with double portions of blessing and eternal joy.
