I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] (a) righteousness, and shall not return, That to me every (b) knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
(a) That is, that the thing which I have promise will be faithfully performed.
(b) The knowledge of God and the true worshipping will be through all the world, (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10) by which he signifies that we must not only serve God in heart, but declare the same also by outward profession.
