22 “Turn(A) to me and be saved,(B)
    all you ends of the earth;(C)
    for I am God, and there is no other.(D)
23 By myself I have sworn,(E)
    my mouth has uttered in all integrity(F)
    a word that will not be revoked:(G)
Before me every knee will bow;(H)
    by me every tongue will swear.(I)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
    are deliverance(J) and strength.(K)’”
All who have raged against him
    will come to him and be put to shame.(L)
25 But all the descendants(M) of Israel
    will find deliverance(N) in the Lord
    and will make their boast in him.(O)

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)
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)

This is what the Lord says—
    the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(J)
to him who was despised(K) and abhorred by the nation,
    to the servant of rulers:
“Kings(L) will see you and stand up,
    princes will see and bow down,(M)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(N)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(O) you.”
