21 Then your people will all be righteous;
    They’ll possess the land forever.
They are the shoot[a] that the Lord planted,[b]
    the works[c] of his hands,
        so that I might be glorified.
22 The least of them will become a thousand,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation.

“I am the Lord;
    When the time is right,[d] I will do this swiftly.”
