23. I have sworn by my own name;I have spoken the truth,and I will never go back on my word:Every knee will bend to me,and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.”
24. The people will declare,“The lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.”And all who were angry with himwill come to him and be ashamed.
25. In the lord all the generations of Israel will be justified,and in him they will boast.
