“Therefore thus says Yahweh,
Who redeemed Abraham,
Concerning the house of Jacob.
‘No longer shall Jacob be ashamed.
No longer shall his face grow pale.
When he sees his children,
The work of my hands,
In his midst,
They will sanctify my name.
They will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob.
They will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Those who err in spirit
Will come to understanding.
Those who grumble
Will accept instruction.’”
Yahweh, via Isaiah, presents an oracle about the future of the house of Jacob. Yahweh has redeemed Abraham and his family. In the future, the house of Jacob will not be ashamed or have a pale face. Just the opposite, their children will sanctify the name of the Holy One of Jacob, Yahweh. They will stand in awe of the God of Israel, Yahweh. Those who make a mistake will understand what happened to them. Those who grumbled will then accept instruction on how to improve. The future looks bright for the house of Jacob.
