"And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins." — The continuation from Isaiah 59:21 grounds Israel's salvation in the new covenant (diathēkē) with God's removal of sins. This echoes Jeremiah 31:31-34 and the Yom Kippur imagery—atonement is God's action, not Israel's achievement. The covenant is unconditional because it depends on divine forgiveness.
