"Instead of your shame [ye shall have] double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them." — Isaiah 61:7 (ASV)

For your shame ye shall have double ... — that is, double compensation for the suffering of years , the general idea passing in the next clause into a double inheritance of territory. See Note on Isaiah 40:2.
