22 Therefore thus says the Lord,
    the God of the house of Jacob,
    who redeemed Abraham:[a]
No longer shall Jacob be ashamed,
    no longer shall his face grow pale.(A)
23 For when his children see
    the work of my hands in his midst,
They shall sanctify my name;
    they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,
    be in awe of the God of Israel.(B)
24 Those who err in spirit shall acquire understanding,
    those who find fault shall receive instruction.
