23 I have made a promise in my own name.
    I have spoken with complete honesty.
    I will not take back a single word. I said,
‘Everyone will kneel down to me.
    Everyone’s mouth will make promises in my name.’
24 They will say, ‘The Lord is the only one who can save us.
    Only he can make us strong.’ ”

    And so they will boast about the Lord.
