21 who by a word make a man out to be an offender,
    and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
    and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.

22 Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:

“Jacob shall no more be ashamed,
    no more shall his face grow pale.
23 For when he sees his children,
    the work of my hands, in his midst,
    they will sanctify my name;
they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,
    and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

“No longer will Jacob be ashamed;(F)
    no longer will their faces grow pale.(G)
23 When they see among them their children,(H)
    the work of my hands,(I)
they will keep my name holy;(J)
    they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One(K) of Jacob,
    and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
