Isaiah 61:7 (NIV) says:

"Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours."

This verse is a powerful promise it speaks to restoration, honor, and joy after pain or humiliation. It assures you that God sees, remembers, and rewards, and what you’ve lost will be returned in double measure, with everlasting joy as your portion.

No wonder my soul leapt. It’s a verse that feels like a hug after a storm.

Psa 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
Psa 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Psa 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
Psa 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
Psa 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
Psa 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

Psa 73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
Psa 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psa 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
Psa 73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.


Mal 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Mal 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Mal 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

The Hebrews complained how the wicked prosper who do not care about serving God and thought it was unfair that they do not prosper like that when serving God.

But God said there will come a day when they will see who is truly blessed when they prosper and the wicked will be put down.

yes, truth and see this a the end of the book of Job also
see Chapter 1, where evil, begins to go after Job, as God allows and does not cause any troubles. Evil does that, and we, at least me has done that to me as well
I can do bad all by myself, I seek Daddy to teach me new, who knows

Micah 6:8-9

Authorized (King James) Version

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what isgood;
and what doth the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 The Lord’s voice crieth unto the city,

Fear the Lord, and be comforted in the Holy Spirit given you to see thankfully and then do as led, not of the self or any other flesh, is what I see, and am in process learning, thank you
and the man of wisdom shall see thy name:
hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
