21 Who [a]cause a person to sin by a word,
And (A)ensnare him who reproves at the gate,
And [b](B)defraud the one in the right with [c]meaningless arguments.

22 Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed (C)Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:

“Jacob (D)shall not now be ashamed, and now his face shall not turn pale;
23 But when [d]he sees his (E)children, the (F)work of My hands, in his midst,
They will sanctify My name;
Indeed, they will (G)sanctify the Holy One of Jacob
And will stand trembling before the God of Israel.
