⁵ May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.

³³ He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

²⁹ His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

¹⁷ May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

³⁴ Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

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 And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.

¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...

⁷ Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.

⁴ I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

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