Isaiah 59:20-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 Then for Zion shall come a redeemer,
to those in Jacob who turn from transgression—oracle of the Lord.(A)
21 [a]This is my covenant with them,
which I myself have made, says the Lord:
My spirit which is upon you
and my words that I have put in your mouth
Shall not depart from your mouth,
nor from the mouths of your children
Nor the mouths of your children’s children
from this time forth and forever, says the Lord.(B)
