²⁵ “I, even I, am he who blots out
    your transgressions,^(A) for my own sake,^(B)
    and remembers your sins^(C) no more.^(D)

⁵ And now the Lord says—
    he who formed me in the womb^(A) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
    and gather Israel^(B) to himself,
for I am^[a] honored^(C) in the eyes of the Lord
    and my God has been my strength^(D)—
⁶ he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant^(E)
    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.^(F)
I will also make you a light^(G) for the Gentiles,^(H)
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”^(I)

“See, I will beckon to the nations,
    I will lift up my banner^(B) to the peoples;
they will bring^(C) your sons in their arms
    and carry your daughters on their hips.^(D)
23 Kings^(E) will be your foster fathers,
    and their queens your nursing mothers.^(F)
They will bow down^(G) before you with their faces to the ground;
    they will lick the dust^(H) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;^(I)
    those who hope^(J) in me will not be disappointed.^(K)”

⁵ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David^[a] a righteous Branch,^(A)
a King^(B) who will reign^(C) wisely
    and do what is just and right^(D) in the land.
⁶ In his days Judah will be saved
    and Israel will live in safety.^(E)
This is the name^(F) by which he will be called:
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.^(G)

³² It will not be like the covenant^(A)
    I made with their ancestors^(B)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(C)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(D) to^[a] them,^[b]”
declares the Lord.
³³ “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds^(E)
    and write it on their hearts.^(F)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(G)

¹⁸ Who is a God^(A) like you,
    who pardons sin^(B) and forgives^(C) the transgression
    of the remnant^(D) of his inheritance?^(E)
You do not stay angry^(F) forever
    but delight to show mercy.^(G)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities^(H) into the depths of the sea.^(I)
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
    and show love to Abraham,^(J)
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors^(K)
    in days long ago.^(L)
