^23 (A)I have sworn by Myself;
The ^(B)word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me ^(C)every knee will bow, every tongue will ^(D)swear allegiance.

⁹ “For ^[a]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would ^(A)not ^[b]flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will ^(B)not be angry with you
Nor rebuke you.
