Isaiah 61:7
Isaiah 61:7 in Multiple Translations
Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
¶ 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 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.
As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
Instead of shame you will receive a double blessing; instead of insults, you will be happy to have a double amount of land given to you, and your joy will last forever.
For your shame you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto them.
Instead of your shame and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for them.
Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
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 to them.
For your double confusion and shame, they shall praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land, everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously your enemies humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.

Context — The Year of the LORD’s Favor
5Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
7Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them. 9Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.Cross References

Isaiah 61:7 Summary
Isaiah 61:7 is a promise from God that He will take away our shame and humiliation and replace them with joy and honor. This means that instead of feeling bad about ourselves, we will feel happy and content, knowing that God loves us and wants to bless us. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, God has good plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, and this verse is a reminder of that promise. We can trust that God will give us a double portion of blessings, just like He promises in this verse, and that we will experience everlasting joy as a result of our relationship with Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to have a double portion in Isaiah 61:7?
Having a double portion in Isaiah 61:7 means that God's people will receive twice the amount of blessings and joy that they would have normally received, as a result of their past shame and humiliation being replaced with joy and honor, as seen in Isaiah 40:2 where God speaks of doubling the punishment for iniquity, but here doubling the blessing for His people.
How does this verse relate to the idea of justice and recompense?
This verse is connected to the idea of justice and recompense, as God loves justice and hates robbery and iniquity, and He will give His people their recompense, as stated in Isaiah 61:8, showing that God is a God of fairness and righteousness, similar to what we see in Deuteronomy 32:4.
What is the significance of everlasting joy in this verse?
The everlasting joy mentioned in Isaiah 61:7 is a promise that God's people will experience a joy that will never end, a joy that comes from their relationship with God, similar to what is described in Psalm 16:11, where David talks about the fullness of joy in God's presence.
How does this verse apply to believers today?
This verse applies to believers today as a reminder that God wants to replace our shame and humiliation with joy and honor, and that He wants to give us a double portion of blessings, as seen in Ephesians 1:3, where Paul talks about the spiritual blessings that believers have in Christ.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I have experienced shame or humiliation, and how can I trust God to replace them with joy and honor?
- What does it mean for me to inherit a double portion in my life, and how can I prepare myself to receive this blessing from God?
- How can I rejoice in my share, even when it seems small or insignificant, and trust that God is working everything out for my good?
- What are some ways that I can experience everlasting joy in my daily life, and how can I share this joy with others?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 61:7
For your shame you shall have double,.... Or, "for your double shame" (b); instead of being a reproach, a proverb, a taunt, and a curse, as the Jews now are everywhere; being converted, they will
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 61:7
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 61:7
For your shame ye shall have double: See Poole "". Supply honour. Though you have been little accounted of among your enemies, yet now you shall be greatly in their esteem, ; you shall have double damages. In their portion, viz. of honour that God will give them; the same thing with the former: or, in their inheritance which God shall restore to them; and that either, 1. For worth and value through God’ s blessing upon it. Or, 2. For room and space, and that possibly by reason of the few that will return to inhabit there, viz. only a tenth part, ; or that which he shall give them out of their enemy’ s land. Therefore; or rather, because; being rendered as a reason of their rejoicing, because of the doubling of their portion, in which sense it is taken . Everlasting joy; of long continuance here, and everlasting hereafter; or to be perpetually remembered on their anniversary festivals: though this had its accomplishment in their return from Babylon, yet was it most signally made good in that great change for the better which they should find in the gospel state, in the enlargement of Christ’ s kingdom and increase of his people, with whom they should ever rejoice together.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 61:7
Isaiah 61:7 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.Ver. 7. For your shame ye shall have double,] i.e., Plentiful reparation, double damages, as Job had. And for confusion they shall rejoice.] Your grief shall be turned into joy, as our Saviour somewhere saith. See Matthew 5:12. Everlasting joy shall be unto them.] They shall be everlastingly merry; not so much for the double honour done to themselves, as for the enlargement of God’ s kingdom, and the increase of his people, with whom they shall spiritually rejoice and reign for ever.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 61:7
(7) For your shame ye shall have double . . .—i.e., double compensation for the suffering of years (comp. Zechariah 9:12), the general idea passing in the next clause into a double inheritance of territory. See Note on Isaiah 40:2.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 61:7
Verse 7. For your shame - "Instead of your shame"] The translation of this verse, which is very confused, and probably corrupted in the Hebrew, is taken from the Syriac Version; except that the latter has not expressed the word משנה mishneh, double, in the first place. Five MSS. add the conjunction ו vau to שמחת simchath. The Syriac reads תרנו taronnu, and תירשו tirashu, in the second person, "ye shall rejoice, ye shall inherit." And for להם lahem, to them, two MSS., (one of them ancient,) three of De Rossi's, and the Syriac, read לכם lachem, to you, in the second person likewise. The Version of the Septuagint is imperfect in this place; the first half of the verse is entirely omitted in all the printed copies. It is supplied by MSS. Pachom. and I. D. II. in the following manner: - Αντιτηςαισχυνηςὑμωντηςδιπλης, Καιαντιτηςεντροπηςαγαλλιασεταιἡμεριςαυτων· Διατουτοτηνγηναυτωνεκδευτερου - "Instead of your shame ye shall have double, And instead of your confusion their portion shall rejoice; Therefore, they shall possess their land a second time." In which the two MSS. agree, except that I. D.
II. has by mistake ἡμερας, day, for ἡμερις, the part. And Cod. Marchal., in the margin, has pretty nearly the same supplement as from Theodotion. - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 61:7
7. The first half of the verse is harsh in construction; and the text as it stands is corrupt. The general sense, however, is sufficiently established by the second half: the prosperity of the future shall be a twofold recompense for the miseries of the past and the present. the double] in the same sense (mutatis mutandis) as ch. Isaiah 40:2. everlasting joy] ch. Isaiah 35:10 (= Isaiah 51:11).
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 61:7
For your shame - That is, instead of the reproach and humiliation which you have been called to experience. You shall have double - A double inheritance or reward (see the notes at Isaiah 40:2).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 61:7
7. For your shame… double — The Hebrew is perplexing. Clearly another promise is here given, possibly pursuant to Isaiah 40:2. Instead of shame for past sin and punishment, ye shall have abundant recompense.
