23     I make this solemn vow; I have spoken a word—
        faithful and true—and it will not return; it will be done.
    My words have wings; they will be accomplished;
        every knee will bow down to Me.
    Every tongue will swear allegiance to Me.[a]

24     They will say of Me, “Only by the Eternal One shall I see things through.
        Only by God shall I go with integrity and strength through life.”

Those who know that God is the source of life, integrity, and strength live lives marked by confidence and a calm assurance.

Now all those who burned with anger against God
    will come to Him and be shamed.
25 Through the Eternal, all the descendants of Israel
    will be vindicated and made glorious within the world.
