21 Those who level a false charge against an innocent person,
    who twist an honest testimony and tell lies
    in order to incriminate the innocent, will be stopped.
22 So the Eternal One, who rescued Abraham, says concerning Jacob:

Eternal One: The people of Jacob’s line will no longer be ashamed,
        nor will they grow pale with embarrassment.
23     For when they lay eyes on their children, the work of My hands,
        they will protect My name and keep it holy.
    They will recognize that I am sacred, the Holy One of Jacob,
        and stand in awe of Me, the God of Israel.

“No longer will Jacob be ashamed;(F)
    no longer will their faces grow pale.(G)
23 When they see among them their children,(H)
    the work of my hands,(I)
they will keep my name holy;(J)
    they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One(K) of Jacob,
    and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
