Vulgate (Clementine) shown from Isaias 45:23
In memetipso juravi ; egredietur de ore meo justitiæ verbum, et non revertetur : quia mihi curvabitur omne genu, et jurabit omnis lingua.
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Isaias 45:23
κατ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ὀμνύω, εἰ μὴ ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου δικαιοσύνη, οἱ λόγοι μου οὐκ ἀποστραφήσονται, ὅτι ἐμοὶ κάμψει πᾶν γόνυ, καὶ ὀμεῖται πᾶσα γλῶσσα τὸν θεόν,

Haydock's commentary

On verses 23 to 24

Myself, having none greater, Hebrews vi. 13.

Justice: sure.

To me. All that are born belong to me. The Jewish women had seldom recourse to midwives, (Exodus i. 19., and 1 Kings iv. 19.; Calmet) no more than the Ethiopians. (Ludolf. i. 14.)

Swear, by the true God. (Haydock)

Oaths on proper occasions, honour him, Deuteronomy vi. 13. Nothing could be spoken more plainly of the Gentiles' conversion.
