³⁶ And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

¹⁹ But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

⁴ But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

¹³ Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

¹⁷ There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

⁷ But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.

¹⁷ But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.

¹⁰ And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

²² But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

²⁵ Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

²⁶ But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

¹⁶ After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

¹⁷ So that the rest of men may make search for the Lord, and all the Gentiles on whom my name is named,

⁷⁸ Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,

⁷⁹ To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

⁶⁹ Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

⁷⁰ (As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)

¹¹ In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

¹² So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

¹⁷ For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;

¹⁸ And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.

¹⁹ And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁰ The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,

²¹ Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.

³² (But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine,)

³ And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

²⁹ So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!

¹⁶ And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
