Isaiah 29:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 those who condemn with a mere word,
Who ensnare the defender at the gate,
and leave the just with an empty claim.(A)
22 Therefore thus says the Lord,
the God of the house of Jacob,
who redeemed Abraham:[a]
No longer shall Jacob be ashamed,
no longer shall his face grow pale.(B)
23 For when his children see
the work of my hands in his midst,
They shall sanctify my name;
they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,
be in awe of the God of Israel.(C)
