Isaiah 45:23 Douay-Rheims

I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return:

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

By Myself I swore and righteousness emanated from My mouth to accept all those who return to Me. I spoke a word, and it will not be retracted. What is the righteousness that emanated from My mouth? That to Me shall every knee kneel, and I will accept them, as the matter is stated (Zeph. 3: 9): “For then will I change for the people a pure language, to call all of them in the name of the Lord...”
