¹⁶ and saith, `By Myself I have sworn -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one --

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

⁷³ An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

¹³ For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling -- is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.

¹⁴ Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee `with' men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee -- shouting.

¹³ For not through law `is' the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

¹⁴ for if they who are of law `are' heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

²³ By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.

¹³ For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

¹⁴ saying, `Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;'

⁸ Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.
