I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return:
Ibn Ezra
By myself, who am eternal. I have sworn. I have made a decree, which will not be undone. דבר צדקה = צדקה a righteous word. Comp. צדקה she hath been righteous (Gen. 38:27). That unto me, etc. These things here foretold I shall do, till unto me every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear to belong to me. לי unto me must be repeated before תשבע shall swear ; it is an ellipsis, such as is frequently met with. Comp. And shall swear by His name (Deut. 6:13)
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
