Therefore the LORD
The phrase begins with "Therefore," indicating a conclusion or result based on previous statements. "The LORD" refers to Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. In Hebrew, "LORD" is often represented as "YHWH," the tetragrammaton, which signifies God's eternal and self-existent nature. This highlights God's authority and His role as the ultimate redeemer and protector of His people.

who redeemed Abraham
The term "redeemed" comes from the Hebrew root "ga'al," which means to buy back or reclaim. This is a powerful reminder of God's covenant with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel. Historically, God called Abraham out of Ur and promised to make him a great nation. This redemption is not just physical but spiritual, signifying God's ongoing commitment to His promises and His people.

says to the house of Jacob
"House of Jacob" refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, is a central figure in the history of the Jewish people. This phrase emphasizes the familial and covenantal relationship between God and the Israelites. It is a reminder of their identity and heritage as God's chosen people.

No longer will Jacob be ashamed
Shame in the biblical context often relates to a loss of honor or standing, both personally and communally. The promise that Jacob will no longer be ashamed signifies a restoration of dignity and honor. Historically, Israel faced many moments of shame due to disobedience and exile. This assurance from God is a promise of redemption and restoration.

no longer will his face grow pale
A pale face in ancient times was often associated with fear, distress, or humiliation. The promise that Jacob's face will no longer grow pale is a metaphor for the removal of fear and disgrace. It signifies a future where God's people will live in confidence and security, free from the threats and oppressions that once caused them to fear.

(22) Thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham.--The words gain in vividness if we think of them as referring to the Jewish tradition that Abraham had been accused by his kinsmen before Nimrod for not worshipping the host of heaven. That history was for the prophet the assurance that Jehovah would not abandon him to his accusers.

Jacob shall not now be ashamed . . .--The patriarch appears, as Rachel does in Jeremiah 31:15, as if watching over the fortunes of his descendants with varying emotions. Those emotions had been of shame and terror; now there was the dawning of a brighter day.

Verse 22. - The Lord, who redeemed Abraham; rather, who delivered Abraham, as the verb used is often rendered (see Job 33:28; Psalm 51:18; Psalm 69:18; Psalm 78:42, etc.). God's directions to Abraham to remove from a land of idolaters (Joshua 24:2, 3; Acts 7:2, 3) were practically a "deliverance." The work thus commenced could not be suffered to remain incomplete. Israel - the true Israel - would not be ashamed, or wax pale through fear any more; they would be God's children, his true worshippers, and would have no need to experience either fear or shame.
