“Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.”
The universalist culmination—'Only in Yahweh, it shall be said, are righteousness and strength; all who were incensed against him shall come to him and be ashamed. In Yahweh all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory'—declares that future generations will recognize God's exclusive righteous power. The image of those formerly against God coming to him in shame suggests ultimate vindication and conversion. The promise of Israel's triumph and glory fulfills the restoration theme. This verse concludes the Cyrus section with universalist eschatology.
